Notes
Storage: Store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To maintain freshness, keep the hummus and veggies separate until ready to eat, if possible.
Reheating: If you prefer warm wraps, reheat them in a microwave for about 30 seconds or in a skillet over low heat for a few minutes until warmed through. Be careful not to overheat, as this can make the tortilla tough.
Serving: Serve the wraps with a side of extra hummus for dipping or a light salad. Garnish with lemon wedges for an added burst of freshness that complements the flavors.
Chef’s Tip: For added flavor and nutrition, consider incorporating other veggies like spinach or shredded carrots, or add some avocado slices. Experiment with different spices on the chicken for a unique twist each time you make the wraps.
