Ingredients

  • 4 8 inch tortillas
  • 1 cup mashed potatoes
  • 12 meatballs in BBQ sauce chopped in half or quarters
  • ½ cup cabbage chopped
  • ¼ cup cilantro chopped

Instructions

  • Lay the tortillas on a cutting board and spread one quarter cup of mashed potatoes thinly on each one, leaving about an inch border.
    4 8 inch tortillas, 1 cup mashed potatoes
  • Add the meatballs and a small amount of barbecue sauce to each tortilla.
    12 meatballs in BBQ sauce
  • Sprinkle with the cabbage and cilantro.
    ½ cup cabbage, ¼ cup cilantro
  • Roll the tortilla from one side and tuck in the bottom as you roll. Or, if you want a burrito-shaped wrap, tuck in both the bottom and the top of the tortilla like a burrito.
  • Enjoy at room temperature, or heat the meatball wrap briefly in a microwave to warm. If not eating immediately, wrap up in aluminum foil or parchment paper.

Notes

Nutritional values for this BBQ meatball wrap recipe are provided only as a rough guide, as calories and other nutrients will vary from estimates depending on your ingredients.
Use flour tortillas for a softer wrap or try whole wheat, low-carb, or even lettuce wraps for a lighter option.
If using meatballs that have been frozen, make sure they've been defrosted in the refrigerator overnight, or heat them up on the stove top or microwave.
If you would like to warm up your meatball wrap, microwave it in 10 second increments or lightly toast the assembled wrap in a skillet for a golden, crispy exterior.
