Why This Recipe Works

This recipe gives you the flavor of BBQ chicken wraps with a fresher, lighter finish. Milford Spice Company BBQ Blend brings smoky, earthy BBQ flavor to the chicken, while the creamy cabbage slaw adds crunch, brightness, and balance. The corn makes the filling feel a little more summery, and the toasted tortilla gives each fold a warm, crisp edge.

Make It Your Way

• For a lighter dinner: serve the BBQ chicken and slaw in lettuce cups instead of tortillas.

• For meal prep: make the chicken and slaw ahead, then warm and fold the tortillas right before serving.

• For extra heat: add sliced jalapeños, hot sauce, or a pinch of cayenne to the chicken.

• For a heartier meal: add avocado, black beans, or a side of roasted potatoes.

What to Serve with BBQ Chicken Tortilla Folds

These tortilla folds work well with simple summer sides like cucumber salad, grilled vegetables, watermelon, roasted sweet potatoes, or a fresh green salad. They are also a great option for BBQ chicken night when you want something quicker and easier than firing up the grill.
