Ingredients
  

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce

1 medium onion, sliced into thin rings

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a spicy kick)

Salt and pepper, to taste

6 large tortillas (whole wheat or flour)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1 cup coleslaw mix (store-bought or homemade)

½ cup ranch dressing

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prep the Chicken: Begin by seasoning the boneless, skinless chicken breasts with smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Massage the spices into the chicken to ensure they are well coated.

    Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions to the skillet and sauté them for about 5 minutes until they become translucent and slightly caramelized. Next, incorporate the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until it becomes fragrant but not burnt.

      Combine & Simmer: Carefully place the seasoned chicken breasts into the skillet with the sautéed onions and garlic. Pour the BBQ sauce over the chicken, ensuring it's evenly coated. Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the mixture to simmer on low heat for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and tender.

        Shred the Chicken: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and place it on a cutting board. Using two forks, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Return the shredded chicken to the skillet, stirring well to combine it with the BBQ sauce and onion mixture. Allow it to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.

          Prepare the Wraps: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. In the center of the tortilla, place approximately ½ cup of the BBQ pulled chicken mixture. Top it with a generous sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese, followed by a handful of coleslaw mix. Finally, drizzle ranch dressing on top of everything.

            Wrap It Up: To create the wrap, fold in the sides of the tortilla to cover the filling, and then roll it tightly from the bottom up, securing the fillings inside. Place the finished wrap seam-side down on a plate or in a pan.

              Optional Grilling: For added crispiness, grill the wrapped tortillas in a panini press or a skillet. Heat for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese is melted.

                Garnish & Serve: Serve the warm wraps garnished with freshly chopped cilantro for a pop of color and flavor. Enjoy your flavorful BBQ Pulled Chicken Wraps hot and fresh!
