Ingredients

  • Large flour tortillas (8-inch) or whole wheat wraps
  • Cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced (about 1 to 1.5 cups / 150-225 g)
  • Alternatively, canned chickpeas, mashed lightly (about 1 cup / 165 g) for vegetarian option
  • Crisp romaine lettuce or baby spinach leaves (washed and dried, about 1 cup / 30 g)
  • Ripe tomatoes, thinly sliced or diced (1 medium tomato)
  • Thinly sliced cucumber (about 1/2 cucumber)
  • Shredded carrots or bell peppers (about 1/2 cup / 50 g carrots or 1/2 bell pepper)
  • Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat or low-fat, 1/2 cup / 120 ml)
  • Fresh lemon juice (1 tablespoon / 15 ml)
  • Garlic powder (1/2 teaspoon) or 1 small minced fresh garlic clove
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley (optional)
  • Optional extras: Crumbled feta or shredded cheddar cheese, avocado slices, hot sauce or olive oil drizzle

Instructions

  1. Prepare the protein: shred or dice cooked chicken breast (1 to 1.5 cups) or lightly mash canned chickpeas (1 cup). Set aside.
  2. Mix the sauce: combine 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (or 1 minced garlic clove), and a pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  3. Prep the veggies: wash and dry 1 cup leafy greens, slice 1 medium tomato and 1/2 cucumber into thin strips or rounds, shred 1/2 cup carrots or slice 1/2 bell pepper thinly.
  4. Warm the tortilla in a skillet for about 20 seconds per side until pliable.
  5. Lay the warm tortilla flat and spread 2 to 3 tablespoons of the yogurt sauce evenly across the center.
  6. Layer the shredded chicken or mashed chickpeas on the sauce, then add the fresh veggies. Sprinkle optional cheese or avocado slices on top if using.
  7. Fold in the sides of the tortilla slightly, then roll tightly from one end to the other. Use a toothpick to hold if needed.
  8. Optional toasting: place the wrapped tortilla seam-side down on a hot skillet, pressing gently for 1-2 minutes until golden and sealed. Flip and toast the other side similarly.
  9. Slice the wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately or wrap tightly in parchment paper for later.

Notes

Warm the tortilla before rolling to prevent cracking. Pat veggies dry to avoid soggy wraps. Assemble just before eating for best freshness. Optional toasting adds crunch and seals the wrap.
