Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 12 oz total)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 whole wheat large tortillas (10-inch size)
  • 1/2 cup hummus (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup baby spinach leaves
  • 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to create the chicken marinade.
  2. Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish or zip-lock bag and coat thoroughly with the marinade. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes (or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator).
  3. Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken breasts for about 5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and juices run clear (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
  4. While the chicken rests, mix the Greek yogurt and lemon juice in a small bowl to make the zesty lemon-yogurt sauce.
  5. Slice the grilled chicken into thin strips.
  6. Lay out the whole wheat tortillas. Spread about 2 tablespoons of hummus evenly on each tortilla.
  7. Layer each wrap with baby spinach, cucumber slices, tomato slices, and grilled chicken strips.
  8. Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of the lemon-yogurt sauce over the filling, then gently roll up the tortillas tightly to enclose the filling. Cut in half if desired and serve immediately.

Chef tips

  • For a vegetarian version, substitute grilled chicken with grilled marinated tofu or roasted chickpeas.
  • If you don’t have a grill pan, cook the chicken in a regular skillet or bake it in the oven at 400°F (204°C) for 20 minutes.
  • Use whole wheat or multigrain tortillas for extra fiber, but low-carb wraps can also be substituted for lower carbs.
  • Add fresh herbs like dill or mint for more Mediterranean flavor.
  • To keep wraps from getting soggy, assemble just before eating and pat cucumber and tomato slices dry with paper towels.

Pros

  • High in lean protein from grilled chicken and Greek yogurt.
  • Packed with fresh vegetables providing vitamins and fiber.
  • Quick and easy to prepare, perfect for weeknight meals.

Cons / watch-outs

  • Contains dairy, which may not be suitable for those with lactose intolerance.
  • Some store-bought hummus varieties may contain added sugars or preservatives—check labels for healthier options.
