Pro Tips
Use leftover rotisserie chicken to save time.
Feel free to adjust the amount of BBQ sauce to your taste.
Add extra veggies, such as bell peppers or cucumbers, for additional crunch.
Troubleshooting
If the wraps are falling apart, make sure to roll them tightly and secure with a toothpick.
If the coleslaw is too watery, drain excess liquid before adding to the wrap.
Recipe Variations
Swap out BBQ chicken for pulled turkey or beef.
Try a spicy variation by adding jalapeños to the coleslaw.
Healthy Alternatives
Use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a lighter coleslaw.
Opt for whole grain or low-carb tortillas for a healthier wrap.
Serving Suggestions
Serve with sweet potato fries or a light salad.
Pair with a tangy pickle for added flavor.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
Overfilling the wraps can make them difficult to roll.
Using a tough tortilla will lead to tearing when wrapping.
