The weather is warming up and so is my appetite for all things fresh, light, and filling. Goodbye, hot and hearty meals — hello quick and easy to prep Summer Chicken Wraps! This light lunch or dinner idea could not be easier. Spread hummus over a tortilla, fill it with fresh summer veggies and herbs, add a few strips of cooked, chilled chicken, then wrap and roll!
These easy wraps are the type of thing I find myself making over and over again in summer when it’s too hot to turn on the stove or oven. Plus my appetite can diminish somewhat when it gets hot out — though oddly enough not for chocolate? — so this is a perfect light bite.
Start by slathering a large, flour-style tortilla with hummus. The hummus gives the wraps a boost of protein, plus it acts like “glue” to hold the tortilla shut.
Next prepare the summertime-veggie filling that includes sweet shredded carrot, juicy tomatoes, and cool sliced cucumber.
Layer the veggies onto the center of the tortilla.
Tip: Remove the seeds from the center of the tomato slices to make sure your wrap doesn’t get soggy!
Finish with torn basil, and a few slices of creamy avocado.
Finally, add a few slices of cooked-then-cooled chicken on top. Grilled chicken is tre-summer, but any kind of chicken would work here!
Sprinkle the wraps with salt and pepper, which will will make the flavors of the veggies pop, then wrap the tortilla over the chicken, roll, and slice.
I love the CRUNCH of the fresh veggies and the creaminess from the avocado and hummus, plus the chicken inside gives these wraps serious staying power. You will love every single bite — enjoy!
