Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Marinade
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast (shredded or sliced)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Wrap and Spread
- 4 large flour tortillas or wraps
- 1/2 cup hummus
Vegetables and Toppings
- 1 cup chopped romaine lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced cucumber
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1/4 cup sliced Kalamata olives
- 2 tablespoons red onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 tablespoons tzatziki sauce
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
Instructions
- Season the Chicken: In a small bowl, toss the cooked chicken with lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to infuse fresh flavor into the meat.
- Warm the Tortillas: Slightly warm the flour tortillas to make them soft and pliable, which helps prevent them from tearing during wrapping.
- Spread Hummus: Evenly spread about 2 tablespoons of hummus over each warmed tortilla, which adds creaminess and a rich Mediterranean taste.
- Layer Vegetables and Chicken: Add a layer of chopped romaine lettuce, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced Kalamata olives, thinly sliced red onion, and the seasoned chicken on top of the hummus.
- Add Tzatziki and Feta: Drizzle tzatziki sauce over the layered ingredients and sprinkle crumbled feta cheese for a tangy and refreshing finish.
- Roll the Wraps: Roll each tortilla tightly, folding the sides in to enclose all ingredients securely and create a neat wrap.
- Serve or Pack: Slice the wraps in half for easier eating and serve immediately, or wrap in parchment paper for a convenient on-the-go meal.
Notes
- Grilled chicken or store-bought rotisserie chicken work equally well for this recipe.
- For a low-carb version, substitute tortillas with large lettuce leaves as wraps.
- Enhance flavor by adding fresh chopped herbs like parsley or mint.
