- Roll the wraps tightly, tucking in the sides as you go. Slice in half to serve.
- Enjoy your Mediterranean Chicken Wrap!
Notes
Experiment with your wrap by grilling additional vegetables, adding fresh herbs, or using lettuce leaves instead of tortillas for a low-carb option. Store leftover fillings separately to maintain freshness.
