Instructions
Prepare the Chicken
- Place the chicken breasts in a slow cooker or pot over medium heat. Pour in the BBQ sauce, ensuring the chicken is well-coated.
- Slow cook on low for 4-6 hours or stovetop simmer for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until chicken is tender.
Shred the Chicken
- Once cooked, shred the chicken with two forks in the pot, mixing with the BBQ sauce until fully combined.
Prepare the Coleslaw Mix
- In a large bowl, combine the coleslaw mix with chopped cilantro and lime juice. Toss gently to mix.
Assemble the Wraps
- Lay a tortilla on a clean surface. Add a portion of BBQ chicken to the center, followed by a scoop of the coleslaw mix. Drizzle ranch dressing on top and add hot sauce if desired.
Wrap It Up
- Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll tightly from the bottom to the top. Repeat for remaining tortillas.
Serve and Enjoy
- Cut each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately.
Notes
Make it ahead by preparing BBQ chicken and coleslaw separately. Customize fillings with ingredients like avocado, cheese, or green onions.
