¼ cup olive oil Rich and aromatic, it adds the necessary moisture to the chicken.
1 tsp garlic powder Infuses a savory depth that’s hard to resist.
½ tsp Italian Seasoning Blend This blend is fragrant and herbaceous, perfectly complementing the other ingredients.
½ tsp salt Enhances the flavor of every component in the wrap.
½ tsp smoked paprika Introduces a warm and slightly smoky undertone.

For the wraps

4-6 large tortillas large tortillas Soft and pliable, these embrace the filling beautifully.
1 cup hummus Creamy and rich, it acts as both a spread and a flavor enhancer.
¼ cup cucumber Crisp and refreshing, adding a cool crunch.
¼ cup tomatoes Juicy and vibrant, they contribute a fresh burst of flavor.
1 cup romaine Adds a delightful crunch and a pop of color.
¼ cup feta Creamy and salty, it’s a Mediterranean classic that ties the wraps together.

Method

Preparation

If you’re using fresh chicken, slice the breasts in half and marinate them with the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and smoked paprika in a large bowl. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 20 minutes for the best flavor.

Cooking

Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for about 8-10 minutes on each side, flipping periodically. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165ºF for safe consumption.
Once the chicken is thoroughly cooked, transfer it to a plate. In the same skillet (or a fresh one, if you prefer), add the bell peppers and onions. Sauté with 1 teaspoon of olive oil for about 5 minutes until they are softened and slightly caramelized. Season lightly with salt.

Assembly

It’s time to assemble the wraps! If desired, toast your tortillas on the stove for 45 seconds to enhance their flavor and texture.
Spread a generous layer of hummus on each tortilla, then layer on the chicken, sautéed vegetables, cucumber, tomatoes, romaine, feta cheese, and olives.
To wrap them up, fold the bottom up halfway, then fold in the sides and secure with a toothpick to keep everything in place.

Serving

Serve your Mediterranean Wraps with sriracha for a spicy kick and extra hummus on the side for dipping. Enjoy!

Notes

For added flavor, consider grilling the chicken instead of pan-searing for that chargrilled taste. Experiment with different vegetables or add roasted red peppers for an extra pop of flavor. If available, include fresh herbs like parsley or mint for a refreshing finish.
