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

  1. Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Warm the whole wheat tortillas slightly in a dry skillet or microwave for 15 seconds to increase pliability.
  5. Spread 2 tablespoons of hummus evenly over the middle of each tortilla, leaving about an inch border on edges.
  6. Distribute sliced chicken, baby spinach, cucumber slices, tomato slices, and red onion evenly over the hummus layer on each tortilla.
  7. Sprinkle each wrap with crumbled feta cheese if using, then drizzle with fresh lemon juice for brightness.
  8. Fold the bottom edge of each tortilla over the fillings, then fold in the sides, rolling tightly to form a wrap.
  9. 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.
