3. Heat oil in a frying pan till it is very hot, before placing the chicken cubes inside.
4. Fry the chicken cubes in batches. Fry them for 8 minutes on each side before flipping them and frying them for another 8 minutes, so that they are golden and crunchy.
5. To make the salad, combine the red cabbage, carrots, mayonnaise, bbq sauce, tomato sauce and sugar in a large bowl and mix. Added the shredded chicken, bbq sauce and tomato sauce and make sure everything is completely coated.
6. To assemble the meal, place two tortilla wraps on each plate, slightly overlapping. 
7. Place an even amount of the chicken salad in the middle of each wrap and leave a bit for the top.
8. Fold the two wraps in such a way that they overlap and place a bit of mayonnaise so the edges stick to each other.
9. Place a few tater tots and fried chicken cubes on the edge of the wraps (at both ends). Do this for all the plates.
