Ingredients
  

For the BBQ Chicken:

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (a rotisserie chicken works great for quicker prep)

1/2 cup BBQ sauce (choose your favorite store-bought or homemade variety)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

For the Fresh Slaw:

2 cups coleslaw mix (a blend of shredded cabbage and carrots)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

1/3 cup Greek yogurt (alternative: use mayonnaise for a creamier texture)

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon honey

Salt and pepper to taste

For the Wraps:

4 large tortillas (consider whole wheat or spinach for an added flavor boost)

Additional BBQ sauce for drizzling

Optional toppings: sliced avocado or jalapeños for an extra kick

Instructions
 

Prepare the BBQ Chicken:

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with BBQ sauce, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well until the chicken is thoroughly coated with the sauce. Allow it to sit for a few minutes to let the flavors develop.

      Make the Fresh Slaw:

        In another bowl, mix together the coleslaw mix, chopped cilantro, sliced red onion, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Toss all the ingredients until the cabbage and carrots are well-coated with the dressing. Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary.

          Assemble the Wraps:

            Place the tortillas on a clean, flat surface. Take a generous scoop of the BBQ chicken mixture and spread it in the center of each tortilla. Follow this with a handful of the fresh slaw. If desired, add slices of avocado or jalapeños for an added flavor dimension.

              Wrap and Serve:

                Carefully fold the sides of each tortilla inward, then roll it tightly from the bottom upwards to secure all the fillings inside. For an appealing presentation, cut each wrap in half diagonally.

                  Enjoy Your Meal:

                    Serve the wraps immediately to enjoy the freshness and zestiness. Drizzle additional BBQ sauce on top if you like. These wraps make for a quick and satisfying lunch or dinner packed with protein and crunch!
