Ingredients
Scale
Wraps
- 2 large whole wheat tortillas
Filling
- 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)
Dressing
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish
- Fresh herbs (e.g., parsley or cilantro) for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Use leftover cooked chicken shredded or sliced into bite-sized pieces. If using raw chicken breast, cook it on a skillet with a little olive oil over medium heat until golden brown and cooked through, seasoning with salt and pepper. Then shred or slice as directed.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
