Flavor-Packed Chicken & Hummus Veggie Wraps Recipe

Introduction

These flavor-packed chicken and hummus veggie wraps are a quick, healthy meal perfect for lunch or a light dinner. With fresh vegetables, tender chicken, and creamy hummus, each bite offers a delightful blend of textures and tastes.

Two grilled wraps are cut in half showing layers inside. The outside layer is a light brown grilled tortilla with visible dark grill marks. Inside, the first layer is shredded cooked chicken in a rich brown sauce, followed by melted yellow cheddar cheese. Above the chicken and cheese, there are small diced bright orange carrots and fresh green cucumber pieces mixed with some small red onion bits. There's a white creamy sauce spread over the veggies. The wraps are topped with crumbled white cheese and green parsley leaves scattered on top and inside. They are placed on a wooden board with a white marbled texture surface in the background.

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. If using leftover chicken, shred or slice it into bite-sized pieces. If not pre-cooked, cook the chicken in a skillet with a little olive oil until golden brown, season with salt and pepper, then slice as needed.
  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 layer of hummus evenly over each tortilla, leaving a small space at the edges for folding.
  5. Step 5: Layer the shredded chicken evenly on top of the hummus. Add the mixed vegetables and sprinkle with feta cheese if using.
  6. Step 6: Drizzle the olive oil and lemon dressing over the filling, then sprinkle fresh herbs on top.
  7. Step 7: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom to the top, securing the wrap.
  8. Step 8: Slice the wrap diagonally in the center and serve immediately with extra hummus or a side salad if desired.

Tips & Variations

  • Try adding avocado slices for extra creaminess and nutrition.
  • Use flavored hummus, such as roasted red pepper or garlic, to change the flavor profile.
  • Replace feta with goat cheese or omit it for a dairy-free option.
  • To make it a vegetarian wrap, substitute chicken with grilled mushrooms or chickpeas.

Storage

Store any leftover wraps tightly wrapped in plastic wrap or foil in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. For best texture, avoid making the wraps too far in advance to prevent sogginess. Reheat gently in a skillet or enjoy cold.

  5. Layer Ingredients: On the hummus-coated tortilla, evenly layer the shredded chicken, followed by the fresh mixed vegetables. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top if using.
  6. Drizzle Dressing: Spoon the olive oil and lemon dressing over the layered ingredients, 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 inwards over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom up to secure all the ingredients inside, forming a neat wrap.
  8. Slice and Serve: Cut the completed wrap diagonally in the center for easy eating. Serve with extra hummus or a side salad if desired.

  • To make it vegetarian, leave out the chicken and add more vegetables or chickpeas.
