Who doesn't love a quick weeknight meal that uses up left over chicken AND can be made within 10 minutes? No one should say no to that kind of recipe right? Homemade BBQ sauce is super delish in this recipe then topped and melted with sharp cheddar cheese, it becomes outstanding!
A little Italian style coleslaw made without mayo is the perfect crunchy and acidic combo needed to give the burrito some tasty texture. You could just eat the coleslaw on the side of course rather than inside the burrito, BUT it's much better the way it's shown here! 😉
No Nutrition info here today since it will depend on if you use store bought or homemade BBQ sauce, what type of burrito wrap you use and even if you choose low fat or regular cheddar cheese.
