Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4-5 cherry tomatoes sliced
  • 2½ ounces light cream cheese
  • 4 leaves iceberg lettuce sliced
  • 2 soft tortillas
  • 2 small chicken breasts
  • salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Broiler
  • Cutting board
  • Knife

Method
 

  1. Place chicken breasts under a hot broiler for approximately 7 minutes on each side, until thoroughly cooked with no pink remaining.
  2. While the chicken cooks, prepare your other ingredients by slicing the lettuce and cherry tomatoes.
  3. Allow the chicken to cool slightly before slicing it into strips.
  4. Lay out the soft tortillas and spread each with an even layer of light cream cheese.
  5. Arrange the sliced lettuce and cherry tomatoes on top of the cream cheese layer.
  6. Place the sliced chicken on top of the vegetables and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Roll up each tortilla, tucking in the sides as you go to keep the filling contained.
  8. Serve immediately or wrap tightly for later consumption.

Notes

For a dairy-free option, substitute the cream cheese with hummus or mashed avocado. Rotisserie chicken works perfectly when you're short on time. Add herbs like dill or chives to the cream cheese for extra flavor, or include a dash of hot sauce for some heat.
These wraps travel well and can be made ahead for lunch boxes or picnics. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, though they're best enjoyed fresh.
Pair with sweet potato fries, a cucumber salad, or a cup of soup for a complete meal.
