Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into thin strips

1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite variety)

4 large tortillas (flour or whole wheat)

1 cup coleslaw mix (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: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the sweet potato strips in a bowl with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for about 20 minutes or until tender and slightly crispy, flipping halfway through.

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

      Add BBQ Sauce: Once the chicken is cooked, brush it generously with BBQ sauce on both sides and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to caramelize the sauce.

        Shred the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the heat and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Then, shred the chicken using two forks.

          Assemble the Wraps: Lay a tortilla flat and layer it with a generous amount of shredded BBQ chicken, roasted sweet potatoes, and a handful of coleslaw mix. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro.

            Wrap It Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it tightly from the bottom up to secure the fillings. Repeat for the remaining tortillas.

              Serve: Cut each wrap in half, serve with lime wedges on the side, and enjoy your delicious BBQ Bliss Chicken & Sweet Potato Wraps!
