Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded

1 cup fresh basil leaves, tightly packed

1/2 cup Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and black pepper to taste

1 cup red bell pepper, cut into thin strips (julienned)

1 cup cucumber, thinly sliced

1 cup carrot, shredded

4 large whole wheat tortillas

1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

Olive oil for drizzling

Instructions
 

Prepare the Basil Chicken Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, fresh basil leaves, Greek yogurt, lime juice, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are fully integrated and the chicken is evenly coated with the creamy yogurt and aromatic herbs. Set this mixture aside to allow the flavors to meld.

    Prep the Veggies: Julienne the red bell pepper into thin strips, slice the cucumber into rounds, and shred the carrot using a grater or food processor. You can either mix these colorful veggies together in a bowl for an appealing presentation or keep them separate, allowing each person to customize their wraps.

      Assemble the Wraps: Take a whole wheat tortilla and lay it flat on a clean work surface. Spoon a generous portion of the basil chicken mixture down the center of the tortilla. Top it with a handful of the prepared vegetables, and if desired, sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese for an extra burst of flavor.

        Wrap it Up: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward over the filling, then roll the tortilla away from you tightly, enclosing the filling completely inside. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and chicken mixture until all wraps are prepared.

          Grill or Toast (optional): For a crispy texture, heat a grill pan or a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly drizzle olive oil on the cooking surface. Carefully place the wraps seam-side down and grill for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and warmed through.

            Serve: Using a sharp knife, slice each wrap in half diagonally for easy eating, and serve immediately. To enhance the meal, consider offering a side of extra Greek yogurt for dipping or a simple green salad for a refreshing contrast.
