Grilled Chicken Hummus Veggie Wrap
By the QuiteRecipes team (Jamy & Kaïna) | Food Service Professional, Early Childhood Expert & Parents
A fast, healthy weeknight wrap packed with tender grilled chicken, creamy hummus, and fresh crisp vegetables.
Some dinners are more assembly than cooking, and we treat that as a feature. Grilled chicken, a generous swipe of hummus, and whatever crunchy vegetables live in the drawer roll up into a wrap that gets everyone fed in minutes. Warm the tortillas first — that little step is the difference between a wrap and a mess.
🥄 Ingredients
- 🫗 1 lb chicken breast tenders
- 🫗 4 large whole-wheat flour tortillas
- 🫗 1/2 cup creamy classic hummus
- 🫗 2 cups shredded romaine lettuce or baby spinach
- 🫗 1 medium cucumber, sliced thin
- 🫗 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste

👨🍳 Instructions
Season the chicken breast tenders with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and grill the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until fully cooked, then slice into strips.
Lay the large whole-wheat tortillas flat on a clean surface and spread a generous layer of hummus down the center of each wrap.
Top the hummus evenly with shredded lettuce, cucumber slices, and warm grilled chicken strips.
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, roll tightly from the bottom up, cut in half diagonally, and serve immediately.
⚠️ Common Mistakes
- ✕
Overfilling the wraps, making them difficult to roll and prone to tearing.
- ✕
Putting watery vegetables directly against the tortilla without a protective layer of hummus, causing sogginess.
- ✕
Overcooking the chicken tenders, leading to dry meat inside the wrap.
🔄 Variations
Add crumbled feta cheese or sliced kalamata olives for a distinct Mediterranean flavor boost.
Swap chicken for sliced roasted turkey breast or falafel.
Use spinach or tomato-flavored tortillas for added color and variety.
🧊 Storage
- 📦
Best enjoyed immediately after assembly for optimal freshness and texture.
- 📦
Pre-grilled chicken slices can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- 📦
Not recommended for storing fully assembled wraps for long periods due to moisture from vegetables.
💡 Chef Tips
Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet for 15 seconds before assembling to make them pliable and prevent cracking when rolling.
Use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken instead of grilling raw tenders to cut prep time down to under 10 minutes on extra busy nights.
Pack tightly to ensure ingredients stay secure while eating.
❓ FAQ
Can I make these wraps ahead of time for dinner? A
Yes, but keep the wet ingredients like cucumbers separated or wrap them tightly in parchment paper to prevent the tortilla from getting soggy.

Classic or garlic hummus offers a neutral, crowd-pleasing flavor profile that pairs wonderfully with grilled chicken.
Are these wraps kid-friendly? A
Absolutely! Kids love the customizable nature of wraps, and you can easily omit any veggies they prefer to skip.
