Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)

½ cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 cup shredded carrots

½ cup chopped green onions

1 ripe avocado, sliced

1 head of butter or iceberg lettuce (leaves separated and rinsed)

Salt and pepper to taste

Squeeze of lime (optional)

Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Chicken: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the shredded chicken, BBQ sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and heat through for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is warm and coated in the sauce.

    Prepare the Wraps: While the chicken is heating, take a large plate and lay out your washed lettuce leaves. Ensure they are intact and not torn for easy wrapping.

      Assemble the Wraps: On each lettuce leaf, add a generous spoonful of the BBQ chicken mixture. Top it with shredded carrots, chopped green onions, and avocado slices.

        Garnish: If desired, squeeze a bit of lime juice on top for an extra zesty flavor and finish with fresh cilantro.

          Serve: Carefully roll up the lettuce leaf around the filling or fold them like tacos and serve immediately while warm. Enjoy with extra BBQ sauce on the side if desired!
