Ingredients
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tbsp smoky barbecue rub
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1.5 lbs chicken tenderloins
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/4 head cabbage (about 8 oz)
1 medium carrot, peeled
1 medium Granny Smith apple
1/4 cup light mayonnaise
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp black pepper
8 flour tortillas (10-inch)
Instructions
Whisk together apple cider vinegar, BBQ rub, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard in a bowl.
Place chicken tenderloins in the marinade and let sit for 10 minutes.
Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat and cook chicken for 5–7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
Meanwhile, shred cabbage, carrot, and apple using a grater or food processor.
Toss shredded veggies with light mayonnaise, lemon juice, and black pepper.
Warm the flour tortillas slightly.
Layer marinated chicken and coleslaw into tortillas, fold to assemble, and serve on a platter.
Notes
Ensure the BBQ rub is halal-certified and alcohol-free.
Marinating time can be reduced if time is limited.
For extra fluffiness, microwave tortillas briefly before wrapping.
