Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 large tortillas
  • 1 cup hummus
  • 1/2 cup chopped cucumber
  • 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)

Equipment

  • Large skillet or air fryer
  • Cutting board
  • Knife
  • Measuring spoons
  • Spatula

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: In a bowl, toss the chicken pieces with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Cook the Chicken:
    • Skillet: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until fully cooked and browned.
    • Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C). Place the chicken in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until fully cooked.
  3. Warm the Tortillas: Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds to make them more pliable.
  4. Assemble the Wraps: Spread hummus evenly over each tortilla. Add cooked chicken, cucumber, tomatoes, and feta cheese (if using).
  5. Wrap and Serve: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly. Serve immediately or wrap in foil for later.

Tips for Perfect Wraps

  • Don’t overfill: Too much filling makes the wrap hard to roll and prone to tearing.
  • Warm the tortilla: A warm tortilla is more pliable and less likely to crack. Heat it in a dry pan for a few seconds on each side.
  • Spread hummus evenly: This ensures every bite is flavorful.
  • Pat chicken dry: Excess moisture can make the wrap soggy.

Delicious Variations

  • Spicy kick: Add a dash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the hummus.
  • Veggie boost: Include sliced cucumbers, bell peppers, or spinach for added nutrients and crunch.
  • Mediterranean twist: Crumble some feta cheese and add a few Kalamata olives.
  • Herb it up: Sprinkle fresh parsley, cilantro, or dill for a burst of flavor.
