Chicken Hummus Veggie Wraps

These chicken and hummus veggie wraps are my go—to when I want something wholesome but effortless for lunch or dinner. Everything is tucked into a soft whole wheat tortilla and packed with satisfying textures and flavor. They come together quickly and are full of fresh crunch.

These wraps saved me last week when I needed a quick picnic lunch for my family and everyone got to build their own with their favorite veggies.

Ingredients

• Whole wheat tortillas: provide a tender, hearty base and boost fiber. Choose tortillas that feel flexible and fresh for easy wrapping
• Cooked chicken breast: adds lean protein and staying power. Rotisserie chicken or leftover roasted chicken works perfectly
• Hummus: creates a creamy layer and holds everything in place. Pick a hummus with simple whole ingredients for best flavor
• Mixed fresh vegetables: like bell peppers, cucumber, carrot and spinach contribute crunch, color and nutrients. Go for vibrant veggies that are firm and crisp
• Feta cheese: brings creamy tang and richness. Look for feta packed in brine for a more flavorful crumbled topping
• Olive oil: adds healthy richness and silkiness. Use extra virgin olive oil for a grassy punch
• Lemon juice: brightens the flavors and ties everything together. Freshly squeezed is absolutely worth it
• Salt and pepper: allow you to season every layer. Use sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper for the freshest taste
• Fresh herbs: such as parsley or cilantro provide a burst of greenery and aroma. Pick leaves that look perky and deep green

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken:

Slice or shred pre—cooked chicken breast into bite—sized pieces. If starting with raw chicken cook it in olive oil over medium heat until golden and cooked through seasoning with salt and pepper

Make the Vegetables:

Wash all fresh vegetables thoroughly. Julienne long vegetables such as carrots, thinly slice cucumbers and bell peppers, and tear spinach into smaller pieces for even distribution

Mix Dressing:

In a small bowl vigorously whisk olive oil and lemon juice together. Season generously with salt and pepper and taste to adjust the seasoning as needed

Spread the Hummus:

Lay a tortilla flat on your work surface. Spread a thick even layer of hummus all the way to the edges leaving a half—in border for easier rolling

Layer Ingredients:

Pile the shredded chicken in a long line near the center of the tortilla. Arrange the mixed vegetables over the chicken then scatter feta cheese on top if using

Drizzle Dressing:

Spoon the olive oil and lemon juice dressing evenly over the filling. Top with a sprinkle of fresh chopped herbs for extra flavor

Wrap It Up:

Fold the sides of the tortilla gently over the filling then roll tightly from the bottom up careful not to lose any filling

Slice and Serve:

Cut each wrap diagonally in half for easy handling. Serve immediately with extra hummus or a simple side salad

Hummus is my favorite ingredient in this wrap because it brings creamy texture and holds all those crisp vegetables in place. I remember my family was first skeptical about skipping mayo but now everyone requests extra hummus when I make a big batch for road trips.

Storage Tips

Wrap leftovers tightly in parchment or reusable wrap and refrigerate for up to twenty four hours. They might soften slightly but the flavors meld beautifully overnight. For best texture add the dressing just before eating to avoid sogginess.

Ingredient Substitutions

No chicken? Try cooked turkey or chickpeas for a plant—based protein boost. Use any vegetable from crispy romaine to pickled onions to add a signature twist. If you avoid dairy leave out the feta or replace with a dairy—free crumble.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these wraps cut into pinwheels for appetizer platters. Pair with a tangy yogurt dip or a chilled lentil salad to round out the meal. They also travel well packed in lunch boxes.

These wraps are wholesome and easy, making lunch or dinner something to look forward to. Enjoy their crunchy freshness straight away or pack them up for the next day.
