Healthy Grilled Chicken Wraps

Tired of having sandwiches? Try my healthy grilled chicken wraps. They are filled with delicious grilled chicken and crunchy vegetables.

These healthy grilled chicken wraps are so versatile. You can basically put any kind of fresh crunchy vegetable into them. Add as many or as few vegetables as you like. They make a great lunch or after school snack for the kids. I love taking these for lunch to work myself.

The Ingredients for Healthy Grilled Chicken Wraps

Slice 8 grilled chicken thighs into 1/2 inch slices. Wash and pat dry some baby spinach. You can use regular spinach, arugula, mixed greens, lettuce, or whichever green you like.

Ingredients for grilled chicken wrap

The Ingredients List:

  • 8 grilled chicken thighs (recipe here)
  • 4 whole wheat large tortilla wraps
  • 1 yellow sweet pepper (you can use red or orange)
  • 1 cup of baby spinach leaves (or arugula)
  • 1 avocado
  • 4 tablespoons of herb and garlic cream cheese (you can use any type of cheese of your choice)
  • 1 tablespoon hot sauce (optional)

How to Cut an Avocado

  • The best way to slice an avocado is to cut the avocado into 1/2.
  • Twist it slightly to separate the two halves.
  • Pull them apart. One side will come off without the pit and the other half will have the pit attached to it.
  • Take a good sharp knife and with a slight force, cut it into the pit.
  • Turn the pit with the knife till it loosens from the avocado and can be pulled out.

Prepping the Avocado and Vegetables

Now you have two halves of avocado with no pit and the skin on.

  • Slice the avocado in the skin and then peel the skin off so you have just the avocado slices. Alternatively, you can peel all of the skin off and then slice the avocado.
  • Core and slice 1 sweet yellow pepper into 1/2 inch slices.
  • Wash and pat dry 1 cup of baby spinach.

Making the Healthy Grilled Chicken Wraps

Heat a skillet or a non-stick pan on medium heat.

  • Take a large whole wheat (or white, or gluten free) tortilla wrap and spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese on the wrap.
  • I use herb and garlic cream cheese for mine, but you can use any kind of cheese – like cheddar, provolone, fresh mozzarella, or my favourite Havarti.
  • Then place 1/4 of the spinach on it.
  • Once the spinach is on, add the grilled chicken to it.
  • Next add the sweet yellow peppers.
  • And finally, add avocado and hot sauce (if using) on top of all that.

  • Now it’s time to turn the tortilla into a healthy grilled chicken and vegetable wrap.
  • Start by rolling each side in towards the centre. Then roll the bottom of the wrap towards the middle too.

  • Now gently fold the wrap to form a pillow shape. Be careful not to push down on it too much or else you will rip the tortilla. They are soft after all.

  • Now that you have the folded pillow, let’s place the wrap on the heated skillet or non stick pan.
  • Make sure it’s not too hot or else the tortilla wrap will burn and not taste too good.
  • If you are not sure if your skillet is warm enough, you can check it by sprinkling a few drops of water on it. If the water sizzles, you know the pan is ready.
  • You can put a little butter on the skillet if you like to brown the healthy grilled chicken and vegetable wrap a little more.
  • Cook the wrap on one side so it browns.
  • Then flip and cook on the other side so that browns too.
  • Enjoy warm.

  • Then place the chicken on the baby spinach.
  • Now place the yellow pepper strips on top of the spinach.
  • Finally, put the avocado slices and pour or spread some hot sauce on top.
  • Now it’s time to turn the tortilla into a healthy grilled chicken and vegetable wrap. Start by wrapping both sides towards to center of the tortilla. Then fold the bottom of the wrap and then make it into a pillow.

Notes

  • – Try using tofu, halloumi cheese or paneer instead of chicken for a vegetarian version. The same recipe can be used for grilling the tofu or paneer.
    – Use a gluten free wrap for a gluten free version.
