Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 20 mins
Cuisine: Middle Eastern
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 whole wheat wraps
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 1/2 cup hummus
- 1 cup mixed greens
- 1/2 cucumber, sliced
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing the mixed greens and cucumber. Slice the cucumber into thin, uniform rounds.
- If chicken is not already cooked, quickly sauté or shred pre-cooked chicken to ensure it is warm and tender.
- Lay out the whole wheat wraps on a clean, flat surface. Ensure wraps are at room temperature for easier folding.
- Spread a generous layer of hummus evenly across the center of each wrap, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Distribute the shredded chicken evenly over the hummus layer, creating a uniform protein base.
- Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the chicken to add a tangy, creamy element.
- Add sliced cucumber pieces across the wrap, providing a fresh and crisp texture.
- Layer mixed greens on top of the cucumber to introduce additional freshness and nutrition.
- Carefully fold the bottom of the wrap upward, then fold in the sides to create a tight, secure wrap.
- Optional: Lightly toast the wrap in a skillet or panini press to create a golden, crisp exterior.
- Slice the wrap diagonally and serve immediately while ingredients are fresh and warm.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, you can prepare your ingredients in advance. Wash and slice the cucumber and mixed greens, and cook the chicken the day before. This way, assembly will be a breeze!
- Wrap Warmth: Make sure your whole wheat wraps are at room temperature before you start assembling. This will make them more pliable and easier to fold without tearing.
- Layer Smartly: When spreading the hummus, leave a small border around the edges of the wrap. This prevents the filling from spilling out when you fold it.
- Add Crunch: For an extra crunch, consider adding some shredded carrots or bell peppers to your wrap. These not only enhance the texture but also add vibrant colors to your meal.
- Toast for Texture: If you want to take your wraps to the next level, lightly toast them in a skillet or panini press after assembling. This adds a delightful crispness and enhances the flavors.
- Serve Fresh: Enjoy your wraps immediately after slicing for the best taste and texture. If you need to prepare them ahead of time, wrap them tightly in foil or parchment to keep them fresh until you're ready to eat.
