These flavor-packed chicken and hummus veggie wraps are a quick, healthy meal perfect for busy days. Combining tender chicken, creamy hummus, and fresh vegetables creates a satisfying and tasty lunch or dinner option. They are easy to make and customizable to your liking.

Two halves of a grilled wrap are stacked on a wooden board, showing many layers inside. The outer layer is a light brown, slightly charred tortilla wrap with grill marks. Inside, the bottom layer is melted yellow cheddar cheese mixed with creamy white cheese. On top of that is shredded, cooked chicken with a browned texture. Above the chicken, there are small orange carrot cubes and green cucumber pieces mixed with diced red onions. The wrap is topped with dollops of white cream and sprinkled with small white cheese crumbles and finely chopped green herbs. The background is a white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

  • 2 large whole wheat tortillas
  • 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded or sliced
  • 1/2 cup hummus (any flavor you prefer)
  • 1 cup mixed fresh vegetables (such as bell peppers, cucumber, carrot, and spinach)
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (e.g., parsley or cilantro) for garnish

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prepare the chicken by shredding or slicing pre-cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces. If using raw chicken, cook it in a skillet with a little olive oil until golden brown, season with salt and pepper, and then cut as directed.
  2. Step 2: Wash and slice the mixed fresh vegetables. Julienne the carrots, thinly slice the cucumber and bell peppers, and tear the spinach into smaller pieces.
  3. Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to make a light dressing. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  4. Step 4: Spread a generous amount of hummus evenly across each tortilla, leaving space at the edges for folding.
  5. Step 5: Layer the shredded chicken evenly over the hummus, then add the mixed vegetables and sprinkle with feta cheese if using.
  6. Step 6: Drizzle the olive oil and lemon dressing over the filling and sprinkle fresh herbs on top.
  7. Step 7: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward over the filling, then roll tightly from bottom to top to secure the wrap.
  8. Step 8: Slice the wrap diagonally in the center and serve with extra hummus or a side salad if desired.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika or cumin to the chicken while cooking.
  • Swap the whole wheat tortillas for gluten-free wraps if needed.
  • Use flavored hummus such as roasted red pepper or garlic to add variety.
  • Add avocado slices for creaminess and extra nutrients.

Storage

Store wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To prevent sogginess, keep the dressing separate until ready to eat. Reheat gently in a pan or microwave if desired, but these wraps are also delicious served cold.

How to Serve

Four wraps stacked closely on a wooden board show their colorful fillings. Each wrap has one layer of grilled chicken with brown grill marks, followed by a thick layer of white creamy cheese spread, and topped with fresh sliced vegetables: green cucumber, orange carrot, and yellow bell pepper. The outside is a light brown toasted flatbread sprinkled with small green herbs. The edges reveal the moist textures of the chicken and the fresh veggies inside.

FAQs

Can I use other proteins instead of chicken?

Yes, these wraps work well with turkey, tofu, grilled shrimp, or even chickpeas for a vegetarian option.

How can I make these wraps ahead of time?

Prepare all ingredients separately and assemble the wraps just before serving to keep the tortillas from getting soggy. Alternatively, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and store for up to a day.

Instructions

  2. Make the Vegetables: Wash and prepare the fresh vegetables by julienning the carrots, thinly slicing the cucumber and bell peppers, and tearing the spinach into smaller pieces for easy layering.
  3. Mix Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create a light, tangy dressing. Adjust the seasoning to your preference.
  4. Spread the Hummus: Take one tortilla and evenly spread a generous amount of hummus over the surface, leaving a small border around the edges to facilitate folding.
  5. Layer Ingredients: Evenly layer the shredded chicken on top of the hummus, followed by the mixed fresh vegetables. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the vegetables, if using.
  6. Drizzle Dressing: Spoon the prepared olive oil and lemon dressing over the filled tortilla, then sprinkle fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro on top to add brightness and flavor.
  7. Wrap It Up: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward over the filling and tightly roll from the bottom up to enclose all ingredients securely inside the wrap.
  8. Slice and Serve: Cut the wrap diagonally in the middle to create two halves and serve immediately. Optionally, accompany with extra hummus or a fresh side salad.

Notes

  • Use any flavor of hummus you like to customize the flavor profile of the wrap.
  • Grilled chicken can be substituted for skillet-cooked for a smoky flavor.
  • For added crunch, consider adding nuts or seeds like toasted pumpkin seeds.
  • To make it vegetarian, omit chicken and add more vegetables or substitute with falafel.
  • Wraps are best eaten fresh to keep the tortilla soft and the vegetables crisp.
