When I first made these Mediterranean chicken wraps, I was amazed at how vibrant and fresh the flavors were. The combination of marinated grilled chicken with crunchy vegetables and a drizzle of tzatziki creates a truly satisfying meal. One tip I can share is to let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes; it really helps develop the flavors and makes the chicken incredibly tender.

I've served these wraps at family gatherings, and they always get rave reviews. The best part is their versatility; you can easily swap ingredients based on your preferences or what you have on hand. Try adding feta cheese or olives for an extra kick of flavor!

Marinating the Chicken

Marinating the chicken is a key step that enhances flavor and tenderness. For this recipe, I suggest using a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and your favorite herbs like oregano or thyme. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes, but if you have more time, letting it sit for 1-2 hours in the fridge will deepen the flavors even further.

When you grill the chicken, aim for medium-high heat, ensuring a nice sear. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the juices run clear, which typically takes around 6-8 minutes per side depending on thickness. This not only locks in moisture but also develops those delicious grill marks!

Choosing Tortillas and Toppings

Whole wheat tortillas are my go-to for these wraps, providing a hearty yet healthy base. If you're looking for a gluten-free option, consider using a large lettuce leaf or a gluten-free tortilla variant. The key is to select something that can hold all those flavorful ingredients securely without tearing.

Feel free to customize your toppings to suit your preferences. Consider adding bell peppers for a sweet crunch or olives for a briny kick. Fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley can elevate the Mediterranean vibe. The versatility of this wrap allows you to get creative while maintaining the overall balance of flavors.

Ingredients

For the Wraps

2 cups grilled chicken, sliced
4 whole wheat tortillas
1 cup mixed greens
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cucumber, sliced
1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup tzatziki sauce

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken

Start by marinating the grilled chicken for at least 30 minutes with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and your choice of herbs.

Assemble the Wraps

On each tortilla, layer grilled chicken, mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion. Drizzle tzatziki sauce over the top.

Wrap It Up

Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and roll it tightly from the bottom up to secure all the fillings inside.

Serving

Cut the wraps in half, and serve immediately, or wrap in foil for a convenient lunch on the go.

Pro Tips

Feel free to customize your wrap with other veggies like bell peppers or add a sprinkle of feta cheese for added flavor.

Make-Ahead Tips

These wraps are ideal for meal prep! You can grill the chicken and chop the vegetables the day before. Store everything separately in airtight containers to maintain freshness. When you're ready to eat, simply assemble the wrap with your favorite toppings, and drizzle with tzatziki sauce right before serving for the best texture.

If you're planning to pack these for lunch, I recommend wrapping them tightly in foil or parchment paper. This helps keep them fresh and allows for easy transport. They can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but try to avoid pre-assembling with sauce to prevent the tortillas from becoming soggy.

Serving Suggestions

These Easy Healthy Mediterranean Chicken Wraps pair beautifully with a side of Greek salad or roasted vegetables, providing a refreshing accompaniment that enhances the overall meal. You could also serve them alongside some hummus or olives for a delightful Mediterranean grazing platter.

For a heartier option, consider serving your wraps with a side of quinoa or couscous. This not only complements the flavors but also adds a nutritious grain element, making your meal more filling. I sometimes sprinkle some feta cheese over the wrap filling for an extra layer of flavor that ties the whole dish together.
