Mediterranean Chicken Wraps
I know these chicken wraps aren’t exactly an authentic Mediterranean recipe.
They’re not Greek chicken wraps, they’re not shawarma wraps. They’re similar to those but with a few changes – something in between. With avocado inside.
Chicken Wrap Ingredients
These healthy chicken wraps are filled with all the things most of us love:
- chicken
- hummus
- garlicky yogurt sauce
- a fresh and healthy salad with avocado, tomato and cucumber
And yes, these are full of flavor and very filling. Yet, because they were so good it was pretty hard for me to stop at one.
I had two of these wraps in one day and I plan on making them even more often now.
I should probably get a good system of prepping the meat, hummus and garlicky sauce ahead of time and then…the sky is the limit. Chicken wraps every day. No complaints.
Mediterranean Chicken Wraps In 5 Steps
- cook the chicken in a non-stick pan with spices and garlic
- prepare this everyday healthy salad
- mix the garlicky yogurt sauce
- blend some hummus (optional if you haven’t bought one)
- wrap it all together in a tortilla
Lower Carb & Glutenfree Options
Because of the tortilla these wraps aren’t gluten-free and might be too high in carbohydrates for many people.
So, if you are eating gluten-free or low carb either use gluten free or lower carb tortillas (I’ve seen many recipes online).
Another healthier option would be to turn these into lettuce wraps or dinner bowls (simply put all ingredients in a bowl without the tortilla).
