This recipe is…

Greek food is one of my absolute favorite cuisines. The combination of bold spices, briney elements like olives and feta, and the acidic punch of lemon and vinegar just can’t be beat.

With chicken, feta, tomatoes, red onion, olives, lemon juice, EVOO, lettuce, and hummus all wrapped into a tortilla, these wraps have all of that and more, which is why they make for a completely crave-worthy lunch. 

Ingredient Notes

The true beauty of these Mediterranean Wraps is that they’re SO VERSATILE.  You can pick your own vessel (lettuce, collards, jicama, gluten-free tortillas, etc.), you can get your chicken pre-cooked from the salad bar or from a rotisserie chicken, and you can make your own hummus or buy store-bought — really whatever makes sense for you in the time and budget categories. The world is your oyster with this one, but if you want to make them just as we did, here’s what you’ll need:

All of the ingredients needed for Mediterranean hummus wraps on a marble surface.

For the Chicken

  • Chicken Breasts – to start, you’ll need 1.5 pounds of chicken breasts. This will be the main source of protein for these wraps, though if you’d prefer a plant-based protein, feel free to use chickpeas to create a hummus veggie wrap instead!
  • Olive Oil – to coat your chicken before baking, you’ll need about 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  • Sea Salt + Black Pepper – ½ a teaspoon of sea salt and a ¼ teaspoon of black pepper will give your chicken a really simple (but delicious!) flavor.

For the Salad

  • Crumbled Feta – feta! The star of the show here. For this recipe, you’ll need 6 ounces of crumbled feta.
  • Roma Tomatoes – go ahead and grab 2 roma tomatoes and chop em up! If you aren’t a tomato person (or just want to add extra vegetables into your wraps), feel free to use red peppers or cucumber here!
  • Red Onion – you’ll also need half of a medium red onion sliced and halved.
  • Black Olives – a ½ cup of quartered black olives will add a delicious, briney taste to these wraps.
  • Seasonings – to season, you’ll need 1 tablespoon of dried oregano, ½ a teaspoon of salt, and a ¼ teaspoon of black pepper.
  • Lemon Juice – 1 tablespoon of *fresh* lemon juice (the juice from about half of a lemon) will add a really yummy brightness to these wraps.
  • Olive Oil – 1 tablespoon of olive oil will help to really bring everything together.
  • Romaine Lettuce – to add some bulk and an extra veggie, you’ll need 1 head of chopped romaine lettuce. If romaine isn’t your think, other greens (like spinach or a green blend) would work great here too!
  • Hummus – what’s a hummus wrap without hummus?! You’ll need 8 ounces of hummus, either store-bought or homemade.
  • Tortillas of Choice – these are wraps, after all, so you’ll want to grab 1 package of your favorite tortillas or wraps of choice.

Recipe Instructions

These wraps are really easy to put together! Here’s what you’ll need to do:

Two raw chicken breasts seasoned with salt, pepper, and olive oil on a sheet pan.
Two baked chicken breasts on a sheet pan.
A large glass bowl of feta cheese, tomatoes, olives, and red onion.
A person adding olive oil into a large glass bowl of other ingredients for Mediterranean hummus wraps.
Chopped chicken breasts being added into a large glass bowl with other ingredients for a Mediterranean hummus wrap.
Mediterranean hummus wrap filling being mixed together in a large glass bowl.
  1. Prep – preheat the oven to 350°F and either lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper. Then, rinse and pat dry chicken breasts, place them on the greased baking sheet, rub them with the olive oil, and season with the salt and pepper.
  2. Bake the chicken – once the oven is finished preheating, bake for 30 minutes, then remove it from the oven and let it cool for at least 20 minutes.
  3. Prepare the additional ingredients – while the chicken is baking (and cooling), place the feta, chopped tomatoes, chopped red onion, black olives, seasoning, lemon juice, and olive oil into a large mixing bowl and combine well.
  4. Add the chicken – once the chicken has cooled, dice it into bite-sized pieces, add it to the ingredients in the mixing bowl, and stir well to combine.
  5. Heat the tortillas (optional) – heat a griddle or large pan to medium heat, and warm each tortilla in the pan for about 15 seconds per side.
  6. Assemble – to assemble your wrap, take your warmed tortilla and spread a liberal amount of hummus on it, then place a layer of chopped romaine on the hummus, and spoon your desired amount of chicken salad on top of the romaine.
  7. Wrap up and ENJOY!

Recipe Variations and Substitutions

  • Switch up the hummus – try out some fun hummus flavors for this recipe! We have a homemade pesto hummus recipe that is delicious, and most grocery stores carry an array of different hummus flavors.
  • Omit ingredients as needed – can’t do cheese? Scrap the feta. Don’t like red onions? Nix them! This recipe is super customizable, so omit ANY ingredient that doesn’t do it for you.
  • Make it vegetarian – swap the chicken for chickpeas to make this recipe vegetarian!

How to Meal Prep

This is a REALLY delicious option to meal prep for the week. If you’re making these wraps ahead of time, we suggest waiting to assemble them until you’re ready to eat; so if you’re packing your lunch, pack the chicken salad, hummus, chopped romaine, and tortilla(s) in separate containers.

Also, if you aren’t near a stove, don’t worry about heating your tortilla before assembling – this really helps Siete tortillas (specifically) to not crack or break, but usually isn’t totally necessary for regular tortillas/wraps.

  1. 5 stars
    This turned out to be such a yummy, fresh lunch! The Mediterranean flavors were great!

  2. 5 stars
    My kids really enjoyed these. When I made them I doubled the salad minus the lettuce and used the extra to make a pasta salad with chicken. Anything to make packing school lunch easier!

  3. I’m super lactose intolerant, and even goat cheese is a no-go for me. I recently found out that I can handle small amounts of sheep’s milk cheese (yay!) so I’ve been enjoying manchego and sheep’s milk gouda! I found so much creamy sheep’s milk feta while in Europe, and am still hunting down some North American versions. Cabot Hill makes completely lactose free sharp cheddars too which are good!

  4. At fresh thyme grocery store they have a goat cheese crumbled feta which is DELICIOUS! I trick people with it all the time. People that donโ€™t even like goat cheese have no idea thatโ€™s what theyโ€™re eating.
