Total Time: 50 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 whole wheat tortillas
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 1 cup lettuce, chopped
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken breast by seasoning with salt and pepper. If not already cooked, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook chicken until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), approximately 6-8 minutes per side.
- Once cooked, allow chicken to cool for 5 minutes, then shred using two forks or a meat shredder tool.
- Wash and chop lettuce into fine pieces. Halve the cherry tomatoes by cutting them vertically.
- In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt with a pinch of salt and pepper to create a light dressing.
- Warm the whole wheat tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave for 15-20 seconds to make them more pliable.
- Lay out each tortilla and spread a thin layer of seasoned Greek yogurt in the center.
- Distribute shredded chicken evenly across the tortillas, leaving space at the edges for folding.
- Top chicken with chopped lettuce and halved cherry tomatoes.
- Fold the bottom of the tortilla up, then fold in the sides, creating a tight wrap.
- For meal prep, wrap individually in parchment paper or aluminum foil and store in refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
Tips
- Chicken Perfection: Always ensure your chicken is fully cooked to 165°F to guarantee food safety and juicy texture. Using a meat thermometer is the most reliable method.
- Tortilla Hack: Warming tortillas makes them more flexible and prevents cracking when wrapping. A quick 15-20 second warm-up can make a huge difference in your wrap's structural integrity.
- Meal Prep Magic: Wrap each individual wrap in parchment paper or foil to maintain freshness and make grab-and-go lunches super convenient.
- Customize Your Wrap: Feel free to add additional vegetables like cucumbers, bell peppers, or swap Greek yogurt for hummus to keep things interesting throughout the week.
- Storage Tip: These wraps can be refrigerated for 3-4 days, making them perfect for Sunday meal preparation for the entire work week.
