Ingredients
Scale
- 100 g fresh baby spinach, rinsed and patted dry
- 6–8 medium whole wheat tortillas
- 120 g cream cheese, softened
- 170 g cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
- 0.5 cup cucumber, finely diced
- 0.5 cup bell peppers, finely diced
- 0.25 tsp fine sea salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp dried oregano
Instructions
- Prepare Your Fillings: Wash and thoroughly dry fresh baby spinach. Chop all desired vegetables into small, bite-sized pieces. Cook any protein if needed, such as shredding pre-cooked chicken breast.
- Spread The Base: Lay a tortilla flat and spread a thin, even layer of softened cream cheese or hummus across the surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Layer The Fillings: Arrange a generous layer of spinach leaves, then your chosen protein, and finally the crunchy vegetables on top of the spread. Ensure even distribution, but avoid overfilling.
- Season And Roll: Lightly season the layered fillings with salt, pepper, and dried herbs. Gently fold in the short sides of the tortilla tightly, then roll up from the bottom to create a snug wrap.
Notes
For best texture, assemble individual wraps just before eating to prevent sogginess. Use pre-washed spinach, pre-chopped veggies, or rotisserie chicken for ultimate convenience. Avoid overfilling the wrap or using wet spinach.
