For the tortillas, choose a brand that offers a soft, pliable texture that will wrap up your filling nicely. On the cheese front, an aged cheddar with a tangy flavor will add a richness to the dish that’s hard to beat.

When shopping for produce, opt for crisp, freshly picked lettuce and red onions that will add a pop of color to your wrap. Finally, a handful of fresh cilantro will add a bright, herbaceous flavor that ties the whole recipe together.

Prep:

Yield:
4 Servings

Ingredients

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1/2 cup hummus

2 cups shredded lettuce

4 large flour tortillas

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup sliced red onion

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp chili powder

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

In a small bowl, whisk together cumin, chili powder, and cayenne pepper for the dry rub.

Rub the chicken breasts with the dry rub mixture, coating evenly, and season with salt and pepper.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the chicken breasts. Cook until browned on the outside and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.

While the chicken cooks, prepare the wrap fillings by shredding the lettuce, slicing the red onion, and chopping the cilantro.

Assemble the wraps by spreading a generous portion of hummus on each tortilla, then adding a slice of chicken, some shredded lettuce, a sprinkle of cheese, a few slices of red onion, and a sprinkle of cilantro.

Storage & Reheating

For long-term storage, wrap individual wraps tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat by microwaving for 20-30 seconds or by grilling in a pan until warmed through and crispy.
