Ingredients

1 beef tri-tip roast (1-1/2 pounds)
1 cup hickory-flavored barbecue sauce, divided
1 Tbs chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, seeded and minced
18 baked low-fat buttermilk biscuits (about 2 to 2-1/2-inch diameter), split
3/4 cup crushed corn tortilla chips or homemade tortilla strips
Slaw1- 1/2 cups coleslaw mix
1 red pepper, seeds and stem removed, cut into small dice
1/2 cup green onions, cut in thin,1-inch strips
1/3 cup coleslaw dressing
2 Tbs chopped fresh cilantro
salt and pepper

Directions

Combine barbecue sauce and chipotle peppers; reserve 3/4 cup sauce mixture. Brush some of remaining sauce mixture onto all sides of roast.
Place roast on grid over medium, ash-covered coals or over medium heat on preheated gas grill. Grill; covered 25 to 35 minutes for medium rare to medium doneness, basting roast with remaining sauce while grilling and turning occasionally.
To prepare Slaw, combine coleslaw mix, bell pepper, green onions, dressing and cilantro in medium bowl; toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Remove roast when instant-read thermometer registers 135°F for medium rare; 150°F for medium. Transfer roast to carving board; tent loosely with aluminum foil. Let stand 15 minutes. (Temperature will continue to rise about 10°F to reach 145°F for medium rare; 160°F for medium.)
Carve roast across the grain into thin slices. Toss with reserved 3/4 cup sauce mixture.
Evenly divide beef slices, coleslaw and tortillas among biscuits. Close sandwiches.

Cooking Tip: To prepare homemade tortilla strips, preheat oven to 425°F. Cut tortillas in half, then crosswise into 1/4-inch-wide strips. Place single layer on baking sheet. Spray tortilla strips lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Bake 6 to 8 minutes at 425°F or until lightly brown and crisp.
