Directions and Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken with the BBQ sauce, stirring well until every piece of chicken is beautifully coated with the rich, smoky sauce.
- In a separate bowl, mix the coleslaw mix with the ranch dressing, green onions, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir until everything is evenly distributed, creating a creamy, tangy mixture.
- On a clean surface, lay one tortilla flat and ready to be filled.
- Using a large spoon, place a generous portion of the BBQ chicken mixture in the center of the tortilla.
- Add a scoop of the coleslaw mixture right on top of the chicken, allowing those flavors to mingle.
- Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling to encase it, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to create a snug wrap.
- Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and fillings until everything is wrapped up in deliciousness.
- Finally, slice the wraps in half to showcase the vibrant layers inside, and serve immediately. For later enjoyment, wrap them in foil to keep them fresh!
Notes or Tips
Feel free to customize your wraps! Add some sliced cucumbers, shredded carrots, or even sliced jalapeños for an extra kick. If you want a lighter option, try substituting the ranch dressing with a yogurt-based dressing for a tangy twist.
Cooking Techniques
Shredding the chicken can be a breeze if you use a stand mixer with a paddle attachment. Just toss in your cooked chicken and let it do the work. For added convenience, leftovers from a rotisserie chicken work wonderfully in this recipe, saving you time and effort!
