Description

A delightful wrap that’s creamy, herb-laden, and satisfying, perfect for hot days when a cool and bright dish is needed.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large whole wheat tortillas or wrap of your choice
  • 1 cup cooked and shredded chicken breast (or your preferred protein)
  • 1 cup creamy hummus (or tzatziki for a zesty twist)
  • 1 cup mixed greens or spinach
  • 1 large cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ¼ cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)
  • Fresh herbs (like basil or cilantro), chopped
  • Fresh lemon juice, to taste
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Protein: If you haven’t done so already, cook and shred your chicken breast or any protein replacement of your choice; turkey bacon works beautifully as well!
  2. Spread the Base: Take your tortilla and spread a generous layer of creamy hummus (or tzatziki) over it—let that velvety texture make you smile!
  3. Add the Greens: Layer a handful of mixed greens or spinach over the hummus, giving your wrap that fleeting crunch we all adore.
  4. Veggies Galore: Pile on the cucumber slices, red bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes. Picture their vibrant colors—summer’s bounty!
  5. Sprinkle on the Extras: If you wish, add crumbled feta cheese and fresh herbs for that added richness and aroma. A splash of fresh lemon juice elevates the flavor like magic!
  6. Season it Up: Sprinkle some salt and pepper to taste, ensuring every bite is just right.
  7. Roll it Tight: Starting from one end, carefully roll the tortilla, tucking in the sides as you go. You want to keep all those cozy flavors wrapped up inside!
  8. Slice and Serve: Cut the wrap in half and serve it immediately, or wrap it up tight in foil for a delightful lunch later.

Notes

You can prepare the filling ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
