This is a wrap I developed for the Pickle Barrel chain of restaurants in Toronto. When the customers want a healthier wrap, this is what they order. The combination of spinach, sautéed chicken and hummus is a winner. Homemade hummus always has considerably fewer calories and less fat than the store-bought type. 1/3 cup diced black olives Spinach, Tomato, Chicken and Hummus Wrap.
RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Working with one at a time, pound the chicken breasts to an even 1/2-inch thickness between two sheets of waxed paper.
2. Spray a non-stick grill pan with cooking oil and sauté the chicken for approximately 8 minutes, or until no longer pink in the center. Slice into thin strips.
3. Stir the green and red pepper, onion, feta, tomatoes, olives, oil, basil and garlic together in a large bowl.
4. Spread the hummus over the entire surface of the tortillas. Place the vegetable mixture over the hummus. Scatter the spinach leaves overtop and add the chicken. Roll the bottom of each tortilla up and over the filling, fold in both sides, and continue to roll up tightly. Cut each roll in half before serving.
