Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into thin strips

1 cup BBQ sauce (choose your favorite variety)

4 large tortillas (flour or whole wheat)

1 cup coleslaw mix (includes cabbage, carrots, etc.)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions
 

Prep the Sweet Potatoes: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). In a mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato strips with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until they are evenly coated. Transfer the seasoned strips onto a baking sheet, making sure they are spread out in a single layer. Roast them in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until tender and slightly crispy, ensuring to flip them halfway through for even cooking.

    Cook the Chicken: While the sweet potatoes are roasting, season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for approximately 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through (the internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C).

      Add BBQ Sauce: After the chicken is cooked, generously brush BBQ sauce onto both sides of the chicken breasts. Return the chicken to the heat and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to caramelize and create a flavorful glaze.

        Shred the Chicken: Once caramelized, remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces, allowing the sauce to cling to the meat.

          Assemble the Wraps: Take a tortilla and lay it flat on a clean surface. Start layering it with a portion of shredded BBQ chicken, followed by a generous helping of roasted sweet potatoes, and finish with a handful of coleslaw mix. Don’t forget to sprinkle a bit of fresh cilantro on top for added flavor and garnish.

            Wrap It Up: To fold the wrap, first, fold in the sides of the tortilla to encase the filling, then roll it tightly from the bottom up to secure everything inside. Repeat this process for the remaining tortillas until all fillings are wrapped.

              Serve: Cut each wrap in half for easy handling and serve them with wedges of lime on the side for squeezing over the top. Enjoy your delightful BBQ Bliss Chicken & Sweet Potato Wraps!
