Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 large soft flour tortillas 10-inch size
  • 1 lb (450g) chicken breast cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) mahogany BBQ sauce thick and glossy
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) neutral oil for searing
  • 2 cups (140g) green cabbage finely shredded
  • 1/2 cup (55g) carrots shredded
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) creamy white dressing mayonnaise-based
  • 2 tbsp (10g) green scallions chopped
  • 1/2 tsp dried parsley flakes

Equipment

  • 1 Heavy-Bottomed Skillet Cast iron preferred for better searing.
  • 1 Mixing Bowl For preparing the coleslaw.

Method
 

Prepare the Slaw
  1. Combine shredded cabbage and carrots in a bowl. Add the creamy dressing and toss until fully coated and glossy. Chill in the fridge.
Cook the Chicken
  1. Heat oil in a skillet. Add chicken chunks and sear until a dark brown charred crust forms, about 4 minutes. Flip and finish cooking.
  2. Add BBQ sauce to the skillet. Stir for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens into a sticky mahogany glaze.
Assemble
  1. Place slaw on a tortilla, top with glazed chicken, scallions, and parsley. Roll tightly and slice diagonally.

Notes

Ensure chicken is patted dry before searing for maximum char.
Chill the slaw for at least 15 minutes to improve texture.
