Ingredients for Healthy Wraps Feast
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
- Whole Wheat Tortillas: A nutritious base for your wraps. They are higher in fiber compared to regular tortillas.
- Tender Chicken Breast: Grilled or roasted for lean protein. Any leftover chicken can work too!
- Fresh Broccoli Florets: Adds a nice crunch and rich nutrients. You can substitute with bell peppers for extra color!
- Creamy Avocado: Use ripe avocados to add creaminess without excess calories. It’ll also provide healthy fats.
- Shredded Carrots: Adding natural sweetness and vibrant color to your wraps.
- Greek Yogurt: A healthier alternative to mayonnaise. Use plain for a cool topping or dip.
- Fresh Spinach Leaves: These add a pop of color, nutrients, and a fresh flavor!
How to Make Healthy Wraps Feast
- Begin by prepping all your fillings. Dice the chicken, chop the broccoli into small florets, shred the carrots, and slice the avocados.
- Warm the tortillas in a skillet over low heat until they are pliable, about 30 seconds on each side.
- Once heated, spread a thin layer of Greek yogurt over the surface of each tortilla.
- Layer the fresh spinach, followed by broccoli, chicken, carrots, and avocado slices in the center of each tortilla.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll tightly from the bottom up to enclose the fillings.
- Slice the wraps in half, secure with toothpicks if needed, and serve immediately!
Tips for Making Healthy Wraps Feast
- Prep Ahead: Cook your chicken and chop the veggies ahead of time for super quick assembly during the week.
- Use Seasonings: Don’t shy away from adding seasoning to your chicken and veggies; spices like cumin or paprika can elevate the flavor profile significantly.
Make-Ahead Instructions
- As mentioned, you can prep all your ingredients a day in advance, storing them separately in the fridge.
- For best results, do not wrap them until you’re ready to eat to prevent sogginess.
Storing Leftovers
Store any leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days; however, they are best enjoyed fresh. If storing, keep each wrap separate to avoid soggy tortillas.
Freezing Healthy Wraps Feast
- For freezing, wrap each individual wrap tightly in plastic wrap, then place in a freezer-safe bag.
- Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before consuming for best texture, or reheat in the microwave directly from frozen.
Reheating Healthy Wraps Feast
- Microwave your wraps for about 30 seconds or until heated through. Ensure they are wrapped in a damp paper towel to prevent drying out.
- You can also reheat them in a skillet, allowing for an extra crispness on the outside.
