How to Make BBQ Chicken Coleslaw Wraps (Overview)
Making these wraps is as simple as it sounds! Start by tossing your shredded chicken in that sweet and smoky BBQ sauce. Next, make your coleslaw mix creamy and tangy with some mayonnaise and apple cider vinegar. If you’re feeling fancy, sprinkle in the cilantro and green onions for extra flavor!
When you’ve got both components ready, just lay down a tortilla, pile in the fillings, and roll it all up! Pro tip: Make sure you roll tightly to prevent any BBQ spillage. 😏
How to Serve BBQ Chicken Coleslaw Wraps
These wraps are super versatile! Serve them with a side of crispy sweet potato fries or a fresh garden salad for a pop of color. Drizzle with extra BBQ sauce or ranch for dipping. The crunch of the coleslaw mixed with the savory chicken and the warmth of the tortilla creates a delightful bite.
Picture this: you take a bite, the BBQ sauce oozes just a bit, and the tangy crunch of coleslaw brightens your day. Yum!
How to Store BBQ Chicken Coleslaw Wraps
Leftover wraps? No problem! You can keep them in the fridge for about 3 days. Just wrap them tightly in foil or plastic wrap and place them in an airtight container. When you’re ready to enjoy, pop them in the microwave for a quick reheat, or enjoy them cold—delicious either way!
