Ingredients
  

For the BBQ Chicken:

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (can use rotisserie chicken for convenience)

1/2 cup barbecue sauce (your favorite brand or homemade)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

For the Crunchy Slaw:

2 cups green cabbage, finely shredded

1 cup carrot, grated

1/2 cup red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1/4 cup green onions, chopped

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon honey

Salt and pepper to taste

For Assembly:

4 large tortillas or wraps (whole-grain, spinach, or regular)

Optional toppings: sliced pickles, shredded cheese, or avocado

Instructions
 

Prepare the BBQ Chicken:

    - In a medium saucepan, add the shredded chicken and pour in the barbecue sauce.

      - Stir well to combine and heat over medium heat until warmed through (about 5-7 minutes). Season with salt and pepper to taste.

        Make the Crunchy Slaw:

          - In a large bowl, combine the green cabbage, carrot, red bell pepper, and green onions.

            - In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper until smooth.

              - Pour the dressing over the slaw mixture and toss until everything is well coated. Adjust seasoning if needed.

                Assemble the Wraps:

                  - Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds for easier wrapping.

                    - Lay a tortilla flat and place a generous scoop of the BBQ chicken in the center.

                      - Top with a handful of the crunchy slaw and any additional toppings you like.

                        - Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up from the bottom to the top to enclose the filling completely.

                          Serve:

                            - Slice the wraps in half and serve immediately with extra barbecue sauce or your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
