Ingredients
- 2 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 12 oz)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 large whole wheat tortillas (10-inch)
- 1/2 cup hummus (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
- 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese (optional)
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
Instructions
- Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
- In a small bowl, mix olive oil, dried oregano, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Brush this mixture evenly on both sides of the chicken breasts.
- Grill chicken for 4-5 minutes per side or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear. Remove from heat and let rest 5 minutes before slicing thinly.
- Warm the whole wheat tortillas slightly in a dry skillet or microwave for 15 seconds to increase pliability.
- Spread 2 tablespoons of hummus evenly over the middle of each tortilla, leaving about an inch border on edges.
- Distribute sliced chicken, baby spinach, cucumber slices, tomato slices, and red onion evenly over the hummus layer on each tortilla.
- Sprinkle each wrap with crumbled feta cheese if using, then drizzle with fresh lemon juice for brightness.
- Fold the bottom edge of each tortilla over the fillings, then fold in the sides, rolling tightly to form a wrap.
- Slice each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately or wrap tightly in foil or parchment paper for meal prepping.
Chef tips
- For a vegetarian version, substitute grilled chicken with ½ cup cooked chickpeas or marinated grilled tofu.
- Use gluten-free tortillas or large lettuce leaves as a wrap alternative for gluten sensitivity.
- If you prefer a spicy kick, add a teaspoon of harissa or sriracha sauce inside the wrap with the hummus.
- To save time, cook chicken breasts a day ahead and refrigerate; assemble wraps just before eating for freshness.
Pros
- Quick and easy preparation perfect for busy lunches or dinners.
- Balanced meal with lean protein, fiber-rich veggies, and healthy fats from olive oil and hummus.
- Customizable to dietary preferences with simple ingredient swaps.
Cons / watch-outs
- Wraps are best eaten fresh; tortilla can become soggy if stored too long with wet ingredients.
- Feta cheese adds extra sodium; skip or reduce amount if monitoring sodium intake.
