  • 1 small whole-wheat tortilla
  • 1 tbsp hummus
  • 10g shredded lettuce

PREPARATION

  • Prepare The Chicken: If not already cooked, season the chicken breast with salt, pepper and a dash of olive oil. Grill over medium-high heat for 5-6 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F). Let it rest before slicing it into strips.
  • Warm The Tortilla (Optional): Lightly heat the whole wheat tortilla in a dry pan over medium heat for about 10 seconds on each side. This makes it more pliable and easier to fold.
  • Spread The Hummus: Evenly spread 1 tablespoon of hummus across the centre of the tortilla.
  • Add The Chicken: Layer the sliced grilled chicken over the hummus.
  • Top With Lettuce: Sprinkle the shredded lettuce over the chicken for added crunch and freshness.
  • Wrap And Roll: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it tightly from the bottom up, ensuring the filling stays intact.
  • Serve Immediately: Enjoy fresh or wrap in foil for an on-the-go meal.

TIPS

Here are some helpful tips for you when making this chicken and hummus wrap.

  • Use Fresh Hummus: Opt for homemade or high-quality store-bought hummus for the best flavour. Adding a squeeze of lemon juice to store-bought hummus can enhance its taste.
  • Grill Chicken In Batches: Preparing extra grilled chicken in advance makes it easy to assemble wraps quickly throughout the week.
  • Keep The Wrap From Getting Soggy: If making ahead, store the hummus separately and spread it just before eating.
  • Choose A Sturdy Tortilla: Whole wheat tortillas hold up better than white ones and provide more fibre.
  • Enhance The Flavour: A sprinkle of paprika, cumin, or black pepper on the chicken can add depth to the wrap.
  • Chop Lettuce Finely: Finely shredded lettuce distributes more evenly in the wrap, preventing large chunks from falling out.
  • Secure The Wrap: If taking it on the go, wrap it in parchment paper or foil to hold its shape.

VARIATIONS

  • Spicy Version: Add a drizzle of hot sauce or a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicier kick.
  • Extra Crunch: Add sliced cucumbers, red onions, or bell peppers for more texture.
  • Cheesy Option: Sprinkle some crumbled feta or grated parmesan for a savoury twist.
  • Vegan Alternative: Swap the grilled chicken for grilled tofu or chickpeas for a plant-based version.
  • Garlic Boost: Mix a little garlic powder into the hummus for a richer flavour.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store wrapped in foil or an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
  • Freezing: Not recommended, as hummus can change texture when thawed, making the wrap less fresh.
  • Meal Prep Tip: Cook and store grilled chicken separately. Assemble fresh for the best taste and texture.
