Wraps and Main 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)
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: If using leftover chicken, shred or slice it into bite-sized pieces. If cooking chicken fresh, heat a skillet over medium heat, add a little olive oil, and cook the chicken breast until golden brown and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper, then slice or shred.
- Make the Vegetables: Wash and prepare the mixed fresh vegetables by julienning the carrots, thinly slicing the cucumber and bell peppers, and tearing the spinach into smaller pieces for easy wrapping.
- Mix Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create a light, flavorful dressing. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Spread the Hummus: Lay a whole wheat tortilla flat and spread a generous layer of hummus evenly across the surface, leaving some space along the edges to make folding easier.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Slice and Serve: Cut the completed wrap diagonally in the center for easy eating. Serve with extra hummus or a side salad if desired.
Notes
- Use pre-cooked chicken to save time or cook fresh chicken as directed.
- Feel free to customize the vegetables based on what you have on hand.
- Hummus flavor can be varied to suit your taste, such as roasted red pepper or garlic hummus.
- Omit the feta cheese for a dairy-free option.
- Wraps are best eaten fresh but can be wrapped in foil and refrigerated for a few hours if needed.
- To make it vegetarian, leave out the chicken and add more vegetables or chickpeas.
