Ingredients
  

For the BBQ Chicken:

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

1/2 cup BBQ sauce (your choice of store-bought or homemade)

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 (or substitute with mayonnaise)

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon honey

Salt and pepper to taste

For the Wraps:

4 large tortillas (whole wheat or spinach provide exciting flavor)

Extra 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 and BBQ sauce. Drizzle in the olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Stir well until the chicken is thoroughly coated with the sauce. Set the mixture aside to let the flavors develop.

      Make the Fresh Slaw:

        In another bowl, add the coleslaw mix along with the chopped cilantro and sliced red onion. In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until smooth. Pour this dressing over the slaw mixture and toss everything together until the cabbage and carrots are evenly coated. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

          Assemble the Wraps:

            On a clean, flat surface, lay out the tortillas. Spoon a generous portion of the BBQ chicken mixture into the center of each tortilla, followed by a handful of the fresh slaw. If desired, add slices of avocado or jalapeños for an extra burst of flavor.

              Wrap and Serve:

                Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top, enclosing the tasty fillings. For ease of eating, cut each wrap in half diagonally. Drizzle additional BBQ sauce over the wraps if you wish.
