Chicken and Veggie Wraps
Fresh, colorful chicken wraps with a tangy herbed cream cheese spread, crisp frilly lettuce, and crunchy veggies. They roll up tightly, travel well, and taste amazing at room temp—perfect for picnics, road trips, or quick lunches.
Ingredients
Herbed Spread
- 2 Tbsp cream cheese softened
- 1 Tbsp mayonnaise or Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning or 1 Tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley/basil
- Pinch salt and black pepper
Wraps
- 2 large tortillas plain, spinach, whole wheat, or your favorite
- 4 oz chicken breast cooked & thinly sliced (grilled or rotisserie)
- 4 leaves frilly green leaf lettuce
- 1/2 cup cucumber thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup carrots shredded
- 4-6 slices roasted red pepper jarred or homemade
- Optional cheese: 1/3 cup shredded cheddar or 2 provolone slices or 1/4 cup feta crumbles
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), Dijon, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth.
- Lay one tortilla on a board. Spread half of the herbed mixture edge-to-edge.
- Add lettuce leaves down the center. Top with half the chicken, cucumber, carrots, and roasted red peppers. Add optional cheese if using. Lightly season.
- : Fold the sides in, then roll from the bottom upward into a snug log.
- Wrap in parchment, twist the ends, and tie with twine if you like. Slice on a bias for that pretty cross-section.
- Make the second wrap the same way. Keep chilled until you’re ready to picnic.
