Can I use store-bought coleslaw mix?

Absolutely. It’s a great shortcut—just mix with your dressing and go.

What type of BBQ sauce works best?

Sweet and smoky varieties are my fave, but spicy or tangy work too. Go with whatever flavor your family loves.

How do I store leftovers?

Store the chicken and coleslaw separately in airtight containers. They’ll keep for 3–4 days in the fridge. Assemble wraps just before eating.

Can I freeze these wraps?

Not recommended—the coleslaw doesn’t hold up well to freezing. But the BBQ chicken? Totally freezer-friendly.

Instructions

Prep the Chicken:
Shred the cooked chicken and heat in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of oil. Stir in BBQ sauce and let it simmer for 3–5 minutes to absorb flavor.
Make the Coleslaw:
In a large bowl, mix shredded cabbage and grated carrots. In a separate bowl, whisk together mayo, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Pour over the cabbage mixture and toss to coat. Let it sit for 10 minutes to enhance the crunch and flavor.
Assemble the Wraps:
Warm tortillas slightly. Spoon BBQ chicken into the center, top with a generous heap of coleslaw, and add any optional toppings. Fold in sides, roll up tightly, and slice if desired.

Notes

Use pre-made coleslaw mix to save time.
Don’t skip the rest time for the slaw—it makes a big difference in flavor!
Wraps are best assembled fresh to avoid sogginess.
Store components separately for meal prep and assemble before eating.
Customize spice level with hot sauce or spicy BBQ sauce
