Ingredients
  

BBQ Chicken

  • 2 large chicken breasts
  • 1 cup good-quality BBQ sauce
  • 1 heaped teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • Olive oil

Coleslaw

  • 1 large carrot grated
  • ¼ red cabbage finely sliced
  • ¼ green or white cabbage finely sliced
  • ½ medium white onion thinly sliced
  • 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon sour cream
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Butterfly each chicken breast to create four even pieces.
  • Season the chicken with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and olive oil.
  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 3–4 minutes.
  • Flip the chicken and brush the cooked side generously with BBQ sauce.
  • Continue cooking until the chicken is fully cooked through.
  • Transfer the chicken to a cutting board with the BBQ-coated side facing down. Brush the other side with more BBQ sauce and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  • Slice the chicken against the grain into thin strips.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper.
  • Toss the dressing with the grated carrot, sliced cabbage, and onion until evenly coated.
  • Lay a tortilla flat and add a layer of spinach, followed by the coleslaw and sliced BBQ Chicken Wraps filling.
  • Fold the sides inward and roll tightly like a burrito.
  • Slice in half and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Choose your favorite smoky BBQ sauce for the best flavor.
  • Greek yogurt can replace sour cream if preferred.
  • Romaine lettuce works well instead of spinach.
  • Add shredded cheddar, pickles, or jalapeños for extra flavor.
  • Serve with fries, potato wedges, salad, or corn on the cob.
