Chicken Wrap

This Chicken Wrap is my favorite way to use up whatever is left in the fridge. It’s a 10-minute meal that stays light while keeping you full. Feel free to swap the veggies for what you have on hand—it’s designed to be flexible, fresh, and totally effortless.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 big tortilla
  • 3/4 cup (75g) leftover chicken (you can use any kind of a protein source you have on hand)
  • 1/4 cup (25g) bell pepper
  • (15g) onion
  • 1/2 cup (30g) shredded iceberg lettuce
  • 4 (35g) cherry tomatoes
  • 1tbsp (15g) mashed avocado (optional)
  • 1 (30g) pickled pickle
  • (20g) mozzarella (or any other cheese)
Quick Sauce
  • 1 tbsp Greek yogurt (or mayo)
  • 2 tsp ketchup
  • 1 tsp BBQ sauce
  • 1/2 tsp dijon mustard
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • honey to taste (only a bit) (optional)
  • couple drops of lemon juice (only a bit) (optional)

Method
 

  1. Sauté: In a pan, add your onions and bell peppers. Cook them until soft (on oil or you can add a splash of water to make it lighter!).
  2. Add the Protein: Toss in your leftover chicken to warm it through. (If starting with uncooked chicken: Add it to the veggies and season with for ex. paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and oregano until cooked)
  3. Prep the Tortilla: Heat your tortilla in the microwave for about 15 seconds. This makes it soft and much easier to wrap without it tearing!
  4. Layer the Sauce: Spread your sauce in the center of the tortilla. Try to keep it in a taller "column" shape rather than spreading it to the edges.
  5. Build the Wrap: Layer on your lettuce, the warm chicken and veggie mix, tomatoes, pickles, avocado, and mozzarella.
  6. The Fold: Fold the tortilla with all the veggies.
    7. Two ways to fold your tortilla:
    Option 1: The Secure "Envelope" (No Mess)
    Think of it like an envelope. Fold the left and right sides in toward the center first. Then, while holding them down, grab the bottom edge and roll it tightly all the way to the top. This keeps all that delicious sauce locked inside!
    Option 2: The Casual "Open-Top"
    For a more casual look, just fold the bottom third up to cover the filling. Then, tightly roll the tortilla from one side to the other. You’ll have a beautiful open-top wrap that shows off all your fresh veggies!
  7. The Final Crisp: Place the wrap in a dry, hot pan and toast until crispy. You can also use a press toaster for those perfect golden grill lines! Enjoy ;)
    8. Stellka’s Tip: The best part about this wrap is that it’s totally customizable! Think of this recipe as a base—if you’re out of chicken, it's just as delicious with beef strips or seasoned mince. You can even swap the peppers for zucchini or whatever is in your drawer. It’s all about using what you have in your fridge to create your own perfect, 10-minute meal.
