- 1 cup lettuce, shredded
- 1/2 cup bell peppers, sliced
- 1/2 cup hummus
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients: whole grain tortillas, cooked shredded chicken, shredded lettuce, sliced bell peppers, hummus, crumbled feta cheese, salt, and pepper.
- Lay out a whole grain tortilla on a clean, flat surface or cutting board.
- Spread approximately 2 tablespoons of hummus evenly over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Evenly distribute about 1/2 cup of shredded chicken over the hummus layer.
- Add a handful of shredded lettuce on top of the chicken.
- Sprinkle sliced bell peppers over the lettuce for added crunch and flavor.
- Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top of the vegetables.
- Season the filling with salt and pepper to taste.
- Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll the tortilla tightly from the bottom up to create a wrap.
- Once rolled, slice the wrap in half diagonally for easier handling.
- For pinwheels, after spreading the hummus and adding the fillings, roll the tortilla tightly and then slice it into 1-inch pieces.
- Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and fillings until all wraps and pinwheels are prepared.
- Serve the wraps and pinwheels on a platter. Enjoy your healthy whole grain chicken wraps and pinwheels as a delicious meal or snack!
Tips
- Warm your tortillas slightly before assembling to make them more pliable and prevent cracking.
- For extra flavor, use rotisserie chicken or season your shredded chicken with herbs like oregano or thyme.
- Pat your bell peppers dry before adding to prevent soggy wraps.
- If preparing in advance, wrap individually in parchment paper to keep fresh.
- For a meal prep trick, prepare multiple wraps and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Experiment with different hummus flavors like roasted red pepper or garlic to change up the taste profile.
- Use a sharp knife when cutting pinwheels to ensure clean, attractive slices.
