These Sweet Chili Chicken Tortillas with Coleslaw is a delicious, filling light dinner or lunch and is packed with sweet, sour and salty flavors
Light dinner or a Saturday afternoon snack? Then these sweet chili chicken with pineapple tortillas served with a coleslaw are just the thing for you.
It takes me under 30 minutes to prepare, cook and put together these delicious filled tortillas.
But I would usually let the cooked chicken cool completely during Summer as cold dishes are our biggest craving during the hot months.
Sweet Chili Chicken with a crunchy coleslaw is always a winning combination with my family.
You can always add a chili or three if you like your hot stuff, but this is just right for us, with a teeny tiny bite !
One of these are normally enough for me, but hubby and my son would almost always have two.
Leftovers kept in a sealed container in the refrigerator makes delicious lunches – just grab and go!

Delicious~ I like to add coleslaw to tortillas and sandwiches, I like the added crunch. Sweet chili sauce works for me...I bet using a rotisserie chicken would work great in this recipe too:) Thanks for sharing your wonderful recipes with us on Four Seasons Blog Hop~ Lynn @ Turnips 2 Tangerines
