Can I use a different type of tortilla for Mediterranean Chicken Wraps?

Yes, you can definitely swap the regular flour tortillas for whole wheat tortillas for a healthier option. You can also try gluten-free tortillas if you need to make the wraps gluten-free.

Can I prepare the Mediterranean Chicken filling in advance?

Absolutely! You can prepare the chicken filling ahead of time and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Just make sure to add the greens and assemble the wraps shortly before serving to avoid sogginess.

Can I use a different type of cheese in the Mediterranean Chicken Wraps?

If you’re not a fan of feta cheese, you can use goat cheese or a sharp cheddar as an alternative. These cheeses will offer a different but equally delicious flavor profile.

How can I make Mediterranean Chicken Wraps spicier?

To give your Mediterranean Chicken Wraps a bit of a kick, add some sliced jalapeños or a drizzle of spicy tzatziki sauce. You can also include a dash of red pepper flakes to the chicken filling for extra heat.

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the chicken, feta, yogurt, red peppers, olives, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir until the mixture is well combined.

Roll up the tortillas tightly, ensuring the filling is well enclosed.
