A Delicious Mediterranean Diet Chicken Wrap

These wraps aren’t necessarily an authentic Mediterranean recipe, but these wraps include many flavors and ingredients inspired by the Mediterranean region and traditional recipes. They’re neither shawarma wraps nor Greek chicken wraps, but something unique using many ingredients and recipes from the region.

Why You’ll LOVE This Mediterranean Chicken Wrap

It it filled with SO many vegetables, including tomato, cucumber, red onion, red cabbage, and lettuce.
It includes two of my favorite dips–beet hummus and tzatziki!
Once you prep all parts of this recipe, it makes a great meal prep for the week. It’s super easy to reheat and assemble for a work from home lunch or an easy weeknight dinner.
It’s COLORFUL! Not only does the produce add pops of color, but the beet hummus is bright and beautiful, too!
This wrap is customizable. You can season the chicken with different flavors, add some avocado instead of hummus, or swap the chicken for mashed chickpeas for a vegetarian version.

Chicken Wrap Ingredients

Chicken: Marinated in olive oil, za’atar, and lemon juice, this juicy and flavorful chicken is the star of this wrap!
Shirazi salad: The simplest version of this includes diced cucumber, roma tomato, and red onion. Add some lemon juice, mint, red wine vinegar, or dill for more flavor.
Red Cabbage Slaw: Simply combine thinly sliced red cabbage, red wine vinegar, salt, and sugar.
Beet hummus: A traditional hummus recipe with the addition of roasted beets to give this dip a bright fuscia hue!
Lettuce: For some added crunch!
Feta: This tangy, salty cheese helps bring balance to the flavors in this wrap.
Tzatziki: Homemade tzatziki is so easy to make, and is perfect to dollop onto each and every bite!
Tortilla or Wrap: I made a homemade tortilla, but you can use any large store-bought tortilla or wrap, or you can stuff all ingredients into a pita pocket!

How to Make These Chicken Wraps

Marinate the chicken: Place chicken breasts in a large zip-top bag. Use a meat tenderizer or other heavy object to pound the chicken to even thickness, about 1/2 inch. Add lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, and za’atar to the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
Make the beet hummus: Combine chickpeas, roasted beet, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper, olive oil, and ice water in a food processor and blend until smoother. The full recipe for beet hummus can be found here.
Make the cabbage slaw: Combine thinly sliced red cabbage, red wine vinegar, salt, and sugar in a bowl. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes while you prep the rest of the ingredients.
Prepare the tzatziki: Combine Greek yogurt, shredded cucumber, garlic, lemon juice and zest, salt, and pepper in a bowl. You’ll use 1/3 of a large cucumber for this recipe and save the rest of the cucumber for the salad. The full recipe can be found here.
Prepare the salad: Dice the tomato, red onion, and cucumber into very small pieces. Combine in a mixing bowl and add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dash of red wine vinegar, salt and pepper. Add fresh chopped dill and mint (optional) for more fresh flavor.
Cook the chicken: Cook the chicken in a skillet on the stovetop, in an air fryer, or on the grill. Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before dicing.
Assemble the wrap: To a tortilla or pita pocket, spread the beet hummus, then top with some lettuce, feta, salad, cabbage slaw, and diced chicken. Wrap the tortilla into a burrito. Wrap the burrito in parchment paper to hold it together, then cut in half and serve with tzatziki!

Recipe FAQs

What kind of wrap should I use?

I used a homemade tortilla for my wrap, but you can use a large store-bought tortilla or a lavash wrap. The key is to use something that’s big and flexible to easily hold your filling ingredients and be pliable enough to wrap without breaking. If you use something like pita, instead of using it as a wrap, stuff all of your ingredients into the pita pocket.

How should I store this wrap?

I like to store each part of this wrap separately, and when I’m ready to eat I put it all together. Store the chicken, hummus, tzatziki, and salad in separate airtight containers. I store my lettuce in a bag with a damp paper towel to keep it crisper, longer. This recipe makes for a great meal prep, especially if you are looking for a quick lunch while working from home, or an easy dinner to assemble after a long day!
