How to Make a Greek Grilled Chicken & Hummus Wrap: Step-by-Step Instructions
Okay, ready to get wrapping? Don’t worry, it’s easier than you think! Just follow these steps, and you’ll be chowing down on a delicious Greek Grilled Chicken & Hummus Wrap in no time!
Preparing the Greek Grilled Chicken
First things first, let’s get that chicken grilled! Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 425 degrees). While it’s heating up, brush the chicken breasts with a little olive oil, and season ’em with salt and pepper. Don’t be shy! Once the grill’s hot, oil the grates (careful, it splatters!), and grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway, until it hits 165°F. Let it rest for 10 minutes (this is important!), then dice it up and toss it with that yummy Greek dressing.
Assembling Your Greek Grilled Chicken & Hummus Wrap
Now for the fun part: assembly! Lay out your tortillas. Spread about 3 tablespoons of hummus on each – don’t go too crazy, or it’ll squish out the sides! Then, pile on the Greek grilled chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, and feta cheese. Finally, wrap those tortillas up nice and tight. If you’re new to wrapping, fold in the sides first, then roll it all up from the bottom. And there you have it – a perfect Greek Grilled Chicken & Hummus Wrap!
Tips for the Best Greek Grilled Chicken & Hummus Wrap
Want to take your Greek Grilled Chicken & Hummus Wrap to the *next* level? Of course, you do! So listen up, because I’ve got some secrets to share. First, don’t overcook the chicken! Dry chicken is sad chicken. Use a meat thermometer, people! Also, when you’re assembling, don’t overload the wrap, or it’ll be a disaster. A little goes a long way! And here’s a big one: warm the tortilla slightly before wrapping. It makes it *way* easier to roll without tearing. Trust me on this!

Roasted red peppers are amazing in these wraps. Or, if you’re feeling spicy, add a few slices of jalapeño. And hey, why not try a different kind of tortilla? Sun-dried tomato? Spinach?
