Summer Chicken Wraps are light, fresh, filling and ready in minutes. Enjoy as a healthy lunch or light dinner all year round!
The weather is warming up and so is my appetite for all things fresh, light, and filling.
Goodbye, hot and hearty meals — hello quick and easy to prep Summer Chicken Wraps!
This light lunch or dinner idea could not be easier. Spread hummus over a tortilla, fill it with fresh summer veggies and herbs, add a few strips of cooked, chilled chicken, then wrap and roll!
These easy wraps are the type of thing I find myself making over and over again in summer when it’s too hot to turn on the stove or oven. Plus my appetite can diminish somewhat when it gets hot out — though oddly enough not for chocolate? — so this is a perfect light bite.
Start by slathering a large, flour-style tortilla with hummus. The hummus gives the wraps a boost of protein, plus it acts like “glue” to hold the tortilla shut.
Next prepare the summertime-veggie filling that includes sweet shredded carrot, juicy tomatoes, and cool sliced cucumber.
Layer the veggies onto the center of the tortilla.
- Tip: Remove the seeds from the center of the tomato slices to make sure your wrap doesn’t get soggy!
Finish with torn basil, and a few slices of creamy avocado.
Finally, add a few slices of cooked-then-cooled chicken on top. Grilled chicken is tre-summer, but any kind of chicken would work here!
Sprinkle the wraps with salt and pepper, which will will make the flavors of the veggies pop, then wrap the tortilla over the chicken, roll, and slice.
I love the CRUNCH of the fresh veggies and the creaminess from the avocado and hummus, plus the chicken inside gives these wraps serious staying power. You will love every single bite — enjoy!

Those look amazing! YUMM!
I read that Sabra’s hummus is so creamy because they shuck the outside layer off the chickpeas. I am much too lazy to do this myself, but if you want to kill some time, it would be a good experiment! These wraps look wonderful.
Yum – I used to get a hummus veggie wrap at a place near my office many days for lunch – it was so satisfying but perfectly light. I’ve forgotten about it since, but this reminds me I should try making these myself – especially with Sabra hummus – I agree it’s the best!
Yum those look so simple but delicious :)
This looks lite and yummy!
This is my favorite go-to easy summer dinner to make! Make the chicken ahead of time, and it’s just ready and waiting when you get home from working! Fab!
They sold this brand of hummus on campus with pretzels. It was a hit! This wrap looks great! :)
Sarah, I’ve never been pregnant but I have it on good authority from a few friends that a glass of red wine every now and then is perfectly fine.
Sp pretty! These sound and look perfect!
The only thing that would make that better would be a couple slices of crispy bacon. Yummm!
Thank you for the low-carb options :) I’m doing that diet (I hate that word) right now and this will be a great meal to take to work. Never thought of spreading hummus on a wrap.
I totally agree with you. It’s so much easier to eat HEALTHY! Because most of us don’t want heavy, hot casseroles, etc. And I love the look of your wrap – reminds me of a sushi roll. Looks so yummy!
Yum!
