BARBEQUE CHICKEN WRAPS
A Sugar-Free Mom recipe for BBQ Chicken Cheddar Burritos with Mayo Free Slaw caught my eye earlier this week. I had just purchased some Toufayan Wraps and this was the perfect recipe to test them out. I wasn't sure how my girls would react to the chicken, cheese, and cole slaw in the wrap, but they were a huge hit with everyone in the family.
