Instructions

Prepare the pork

In a medium saucepan, combine the shredded pork and BBQ sauce. Heat over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.

Pro tip: Ensure the pork is evenly coated with BBQ sauce for maximum flavour.

Warm the tortillas

Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until soft and pliable.

Pro tip: Avoid overcooking the tortillas to prevent them from becoming brittle.

Assemble the wraps

Lay each tortilla flat and distribute the BBQ pork evenly among them, placing it in the centre.

Add the vegetables

Top the pork with coleslaw mix, red bell pepper slices, avocado slices, and chopped cilantro.

Pro tip: Feel free to add other vegetables like sliced onions or jalapeños for extra flavour.

Fold the wraps

Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling.

Pro tip: Rolling tightly helps keep the filling intact.

Serve

Serve the wraps immediately with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.

Pro tip: For a fresh burst of flavour, don't skip the lime juice.
