The foundation of any great wrap is its tortilla, and for Zesty Creamy Lemon Wraps, whole wheat tortillas are the ideal choice. These tortillas not only provide a wholesome base but also contribute significantly to the overall texture and flavor of the dish. Whole wheat tortillas are made from whole grains, which means they retain more nutrients compared to their white flour counterparts.

Ingredients
  

4 large whole wheat tortillas

1 cup cooked shredded chicken (or 1 cup chickpeas for a vegetarian option)

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Zest of 1 large lemon

1 tablespoon honey (adjust more or less depending on desired sweetness)

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper

1 cup mixed greens (such as spinach, arugula, and lettuce)

1/2 cup diced cucumber

1/4 cup finely chopped red onion

Optional: Fresh herbs (such as parsley or dill) for garnish

Instructions
 

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, blend together the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Use a whisk or fork to ensure the mixture is smooth and creamy, with no lumps remaining.

    Place the whole wheat tortillas flat on a clean, dry countertop or cutting board. Spread a generous layer of the lemon cream mixture evenly across each tortilla, making sure to leave about an inch of space along the edges to prevent spillage when rolling.

      Evenly distribute the cooked shredded chicken or chickpeas along the center of each tortilla in a line, ensuring you leave enough space on both ends to roll them up.

        Top the chicken or chickpeas with a handful of mixed greens, followed by the diced cucumber and finely chopped red onion. These add a wonderful crunch and freshness to the wraps.

          To roll the wraps, begin at the bottom edge of a tortilla, folding it tightly over the filling. Tuck the sides in as you roll upwards to secure the ingredients inside. Aim for a snug roll to keep everything intact.

            Once you’ve rolled all the tortillas, use a sharp knife to slice each wrap in half diagonally. If desired, you can secure each wrap with toothpicks to keep them from unrolling, or serve them as is for a delightful, fresh lunch option.

              Optional: For a vibrant presentation, sprinkle fresh herbs on top of the wraps or place a sprig of herbs alongside when serving.
