Can I make these chicken wraps ahead of time for lunches throughout the week?

Absolutely! Prepare all components separately and store them in airtight containers. Assemble your wraps the morning of or night before, wrapping tightly in parchment paper. For best results with make-ahead wraps, add avocado just before eating and keep tomatoes separate to prevent sogginess.

How can I make these wraps vegetarian but still protein-rich?

Replace the chicken with 1½ cups of roasted chickpeas seasoned with the same spice blend, or use ¾ cup crumbled firm tofu sautéed with taco seasoning. Both alternatives provide comparable protein while maintaining the satisfying texture of the original easy chicken wrap .

What's the best way to warm tortillas if I don't have a stovetop available?

Wrap a stack of tortillas in slightly dampened paper towels and microwave for 20-30 seconds. Alternatively, wrap them in foil and place in a preheated 300°F oven for about 5 minutes. Both methods make tortillas pliable enough for perfect chicken wrap assembly.

My wraps always fall apart when I'm eating them. What am I doing wrong?

The most common culprit is overfilling. Limit filling to ¾ cup per standard tortilla. Also, ensure you're folding in the sides first before rolling from the bottom up. For extra security, quickly heat the seam-side down in a pan or wrap the bottom half in parchment paper or foil before serving.

How can I add more flavor to my chicken wraps without adding calories?

Incorporate fresh herbs like cilantro, basil, or dill; add a squeeze of lime instead of lemon; experiment with different spice blends like za'atar or tajin; or include pickled vegetables for tangy crunch. These additions enhance flavor complexity in your easy chicken wrap without significantly impacting the nutritional profile.

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
4 large flour tortillas (or whole wheat/gluten-free)
1 cup fresh lettuce, shredded
½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
⅓ cup red onion, thinly sliced
½ avocado, sliced
¼ cup Greek yogurt
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp cumin
Salt & pepper to taste
Optional: ¼ cup crumbled feta or shredded cheddar

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken:
Use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken or sauté raw seasoned chicken in olive oil until fully cooked. Shred or dice into small pieces.
Make the Sauce:
Mix Greek yogurt with lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
Warm the Tortillas:
Heat tortillas in a dry skillet for 20–30 seconds each side or microwave with damp paper towels for 20 seconds.
Assemble the Wraps:
Spread 1 tbsp of yogurt sauce on each tortilla. Layer chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, onion, avocado, and cheese (if using) in the center.

Wrap It Up:
Fold in the sides and roll tightly from the bottom up. Optionally sear seam-side down in a pan for 30 seconds to seal.

Notes

Make-Ahead Friendly: You can prep all components up to 3 days in advance—just store them separately in airtight containers and assemble wraps when ready to eat.
Tortilla Tip: Always warm your tortillas before assembling. This prevents cracking and improves flexibility for rolling. A quick 15–20 seconds in the microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel works wonders.
Dairy-Free Option: Substitute Greek yogurt with mashed avocado, dairy-free yogurt, or hummus for a creamy, plant-based twist.
Low-Carb Option: Swap out tortillas for large lettuce leaves or collard green wraps to reduce carbs and boost your veggie intake.
Add a Kick: Drizzle in a little sriracha or sprinkle red pepper flakes into the sauce for a spicy version of this recipe.
Kid-Friendly Version: Skip the red onion and spicy seasonings, and let little ones build their own wraps with fun add-ins like shredded cheese, sliced cucumbers, or sweet corn.
Storage Advice: Fully assembled wraps are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored wrapped in parchment in the fridge for up to 24 hours. For longer storage, freeze wraps without tomatoes or avocado and reheat when needed.
