Instructions
- Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and any additional spices like garlic powder or smoked paprika.
- Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then shred it into bite-sized pieces using two forks.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with BBQ sauce and mix thoroughly until evenly coated.
- In another bowl, toss the coleslaw mix with a little extra BBQ sauce, mayonnaise, or a vinegar-based dressing to add moisture and flavor. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Lay a tortilla flat and spoon a generous amount of the BBQ chicken mixture onto the center. Top with a handful of the coleslaw mixture and any additional toppings desired.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly from the bottom up to create a wrap. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
- Cut the wraps in half diagonally and serve immediately.
