Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded

1 cup fresh basil leaves, tightly packed

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

2 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

4 large whole-wheat tortillas

1 cup mixed greens (such as spinach, arugula, or your favorite lettuce)

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

Optional: 1/2 ripe avocado, sliced

Instructions
 

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, honey, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well until the chicken is thoroughly coated in the yogurt mixture, creating a creamy filling.

    On a clean work surface, lay out the whole-wheat tortillas flat. For added flexibility, you may warm each tortilla briefly in a non-stick skillet over low heat, just until they are soft and manageable.

      For assembly, place a generous handful of mixed greens in the center of each tortilla. Next, spoon an equal portion of the creamy chicken mixture over the greens. Top with halved cherry tomatoes, thin slices of red onion, and avocado (if desired) for extra creaminess.

        To wrap the tortillas, first fold in the sides, then roll them up tightly from the bottom to create a secure wrap. Make sure all the fillings are tucked in as you roll.

          After wrapping all the tortillas, cut each wrap in half diagonally for easier handling and a more appetizing presentation.

            Serve the wraps immediately for the freshest taste, or you can refrigerate them for up to an hour if you’re preparing them in advance. These wraps are fantastic for a light lunch, picnic outing, or as a healthy snack option!
