Ingredients
For the Wraps:
Spinach or regular burrito/wrap-size tortillas (10 to 12 inches)
Cooked & chopped rotisserie chicken
Fresh spinach
Cherry tomatoes
Parmesan or mozzarella cheese
For the Basil Tzatziki Sauce:
A small cucumber
Plain thick Greek yogurt
Fresh basil
Olive oil
Lemon juice
Garlic powder
Sea salt
Optional Add-On:

How To Make These Tuscan Chicken Wraps
Step 1: Make the Basil Tzatziki Sauce. Place the grated cucumber in a small-medium bowl and press a paper towel down over it to absorb a good amount of the moisture. Repeat until excess moisture is removed. Stir in the Greek yogurt, olive oil, fresh basil, lemon juice, garlic powder, and sea salt until smooth, creamy, and evenly distributed.
Step 2: Assemble and Wrap. Lay out both tortillas and spread a generous amount of the basil tzatziki sauce onto the center of each, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge. Layer on the chopped chicken, quartered cherry tomatoes, fresh spinach, and cheese. Fold in the sides, roll up tightly, cut in half, and enjoy!
Wrap Recipe Notes
Prep Ahead: Make the tzatziki sauce first so it has time to sit, allowing the flavors to infuse and the texture to become extra creamy.
Make-Ahead Friendly: Great for meal prep or lunches on the go! Just store in an airtight container to keep it fresh until you are ready to eat.
Salt to Taste: The ¼ teaspoon of salt is a healthy, balanced sweet spot, but feel free to add a tiny pinch more if you prefer a saltier kick.
Swap It Out: Not a tomato fan? Substitute roasted or fresh red peppers. Don't like spinach? Swap in mixed greens or chopped romaine. You can also use any leftover grilled chicken instead of rotisserie!
Spice It Up: A pinch of red pepper flakes adds amazing flavor the Tuscan way.
