Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts (grilled to tender perfection)
- 1 tbsp olive oil (or avocado oil)
- 4 pieces whole wheat tortillas (soft and nutritious)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 cup hummus (creamy richness)
- 1 cup mixed greens (fresh and crunchy)
- 1/2 cup cucumber (sliced)
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1/4 cup red onion (thinly sliced)
- 1/4 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (for brightness)
Directions
-
Start by grilling the chicken breasts. Rub them with olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Grill until fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes per side. Once done, let them rest for a few minutes before slicing.
-
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the vegetables. Slice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, and thinly slice the red onion.
-
Lay out the whole wheat tortillas on a clean surface. Spread a generous amount of hummus on each tortilla.
-
On top of the hummus, add mixed greens, sliced cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and crumbled feta.
-
Place the sliced grilled chicken on top of the veggies. Drizzle with lemon juice for some added brightness.
-
Roll the tortilla tightly to create the wrap. You can slice it in half for easier eating.
How to Serve Flavor-Packed Mediterranean Chicken Wraps
These wraps are best served fresh. You can pair them with extra hummus or a light salad on the side. They are perfect for lunch, dinner, or even as a picnic meal.
How to Store Flavor-Packed Mediterranean Chicken Wraps
If you have leftovers, store the wraps wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for up to 2 days. However, it’s best to keep the veggies and chicken separate until ready to eat for maximum freshness.
Tips to Make Flavor-Packed Mediterranean Chicken Wraps
- Feel free to customize your wraps by adding other veggies like bell peppers or spinach.

Variation
