High Protein Rotisserie Chicken Wraps - Quick, Flavorful, and Satisfying

Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • Rotisserie chicken (about 2 cups shredded, skin removed for lean protein)
  • Whole-wheat or high-protein tortillas (10-inch for easy rolling)
  • Greek yogurt (plain, 2/3 cup, for a creamy high-protein base)
  • Light mayonnaise (2 tablespoons, optional, for extra richness)
  • Dijon mustard (1 teaspoon)
  • Lemon juice (1–2 teaspoons, to brighten the sauce)
  • Garlic powder (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Smoked paprika (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Salt and black pepper (to taste)
  • Romaine or mixed greens (2 cups, chopped)
  • Cucumber (1 small, thinly sliced or diced)
  • Tomato (1 medium, diced and patted dry)
  • Red onion (1/4 small, thinly sliced)
  • Avocado (1/2, sliced; optional healthy fat)
  • Shredded cheese (1/3 cup; optional—cheddar, mozzarella, or feta)
  • Fresh herbs (2 tablespoons chopped parsley or cilantro; optional)

Method
 

  1. Prep the chicken: Remove the skin and bones from the rotisserie chicken. Shred the meat into bite-size pieces. Aim for about 2 cups. Warm slightly in the microwave if you prefer a warm wrap.
  2. Make the sauce: In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, light mayo (if using), Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning. You want it tangy, creamy, and a little smoky.
  3. Toss the filling: In a larger bowl, combine shredded chicken with half of the sauce. Stir until coated. This ensures flavor in every bite and helps the wrap hold together.
  4. Prep the veggies: Chop greens, slice cucumber and onion, and dice tomato. Pat tomato dry with a paper towel so the wrap doesn’t get soggy. Slice avocado last to keep it from browning.
  5. Warm the tortillas: Heat each tortilla in a dry skillet for 15–20 seconds per side or microwave under a damp paper towel for 15 seconds. Warm tortillas are more flexible and less likely to tear.
  6. Assemble: Lay a tortilla on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of the remaining sauce down the center, leaving space at the edges. Add a handful of greens, a scoop of chicken, cucumber, tomato, onion, and avocado. Sprinkle cheese and herbs if using.
  7. Roll it tight: Fold the sides over the filling, then roll from the bottom up, tucking as you go. Keep the wrap tight to prevent gaps and spills.
  8. Toast (optional): For a crisp edge and melty cheese, place the wrap seam-side down in a skillet over medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side. You can also use a panini press.
  9. Serve: Slice in half on a diagonal. Add extra sauce on the side or a squeeze of lemon. Enjoy immediately or pack for later.
