In a bowl, mix together smoked paprika, oregano, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. This mix gives the chicken great flavor. Add the chicken breasts to the bowl, making sure they get coated well. Cover the bowl and let it sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This step helps the chicken absorb all the tasty spices. Next, it's time to cook the chicken. Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Take the chicken out of the marinade and place it on the hot grill or skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side. You want the chicken to reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). This ensures it’s safe to eat. Once it's done, let the chicken rest for a few minutes. Then, slice it into thin strips. Now, you can start putting your wraps together. Lay out the whole wheat tortillas on a clean surface. Spread about 2 tablespoons of hummus on each tortilla. This adds creaminess and flavor. Place a good amount of sliced chicken in the center of each tortilla. Add cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, red onion, and crumbled feta cheese on top. To wrap it up, fold in the sides of the tortilla first. Then roll it tightly from the bottom up. This keeps all the fillings inside. If you plan to eat right away, cut the wraps in half diagonally. For later, you can wrap each one in parchment paper or foil to keep them fresh. Serve on a large platter, garnished with chopped parsley or mint. Extra hummus or yogurt sauce makes a great dip! To make the chicken burst with flavor, use a good marinade. Combine smoked paprika, oregano, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl. This mix adds depth and zest. Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes. If you have time, longer is better. It allows the flavors to soak in. Whole wheat tortillas work great for this wrap. They add a nutty flavor and extra fiber. You can also try spinach or herb tortillas for added taste. Look for large tortillas to hold all the fillings. This keeps your wrap secure and easy to eat. If you have leftovers, wrap each in parchment paper or foil. This keeps them fresh. Store in the fridge for up to three days. To reheat, unwrap the wraps and place them in a skillet over low heat. This warms them up without making them soggy. Enjoy! Pro Tips Marinating Time: For best flavor, marinate the chicken for at least 1 hour or even overnight if possible. Grilling Technique: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is perfectly cooked at 165°F (75°C) without drying it out. Fresh Ingredients: Opt for fresh, seasonal vegetables for the best taste and texture in your wraps. Wrap Storage: If making wraps ahead of time, store them in the refrigerator to keep them fresh and prevent sogginess. {{image_2}} You can switch the chicken for other proteins. Try grilled shrimp or steak for a twist. Tofu is a great choice for a plant-based option. For something unique, use falafel; they add crunch and flavor. These alternatives keep the wrap exciting and tasty. To make a vegetarian wrap, use roasted veggies like zucchini and bell peppers. You can add chickpeas for protein. For a vegan version, skip the feta cheese and use a creamy avocado spread. This adds good fats and flavor. You can also try tahini for a nutty taste. Mix things up with spices or herbs. A sprinkle of cumin can add warmth. Fresh basil or dill gives a bright touch. You might also add olives or artichoke hearts for extra flavor. For heat, sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce can spice things up. These simple changes make the wrap personal and fun. To store leftover wraps, first let them cool down. Wrap each one tightly in parchment paper or foil. Place them in an airtight container. This keeps them fresh and prevents drying out. You can store them in the fridge for up to three days. To freeze your wraps, you should first prepare them as usual. After wrapping, wrap each one in plastic wrap. Then, place them in a freezer-safe bag. You can freeze them for up to three months. When you want to eat them, thaw in the fridge overnight. To keep your wraps fresh, avoid adding wet ingredients like tomatoes or cucumber until serving. This helps prevent sogginess. If you plan to eat them later, keep the veggies and sauces separate. You can also store the filling and tortillas separately for the best taste. You can prepare the chicken and veggies ahead of time. Marinate the chicken and store it in the fridge. You can also chop the vegetables the day before. Keep them in airtight containers to stay fresh. When you are ready to eat, just cook the chicken and assemble wraps. Wraps stay fresh for about three days. Yes, you can use any vegetables you like. Try adding spinach, shredded carrots, or roasted zucchini. Bell peppers and cucumbers add crunch, but feel free to mix it up. Seasonal veggies work great too. Just make sure they are cut into bite-sized pieces for easy eating. If you need a substitute for feta, try goat cheese or ricotta. For a vegan option, use crumbled tofu with some lemon juice. You can also omit cheese altogether and add more veggies. This keeps the wraps fresh and flavorful while still satisfying. Yes, baking is an option if you prefer it. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the assembled wraps on a baking sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes until they are warm and slightly crispy. This method gives you a nice texture without grilling. Mediterranean chicken wraps are easy, tasty, and fun to make. We covered key ingredients, cooking steps, and tips to make them great.
