Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded

1 cup fresh basil leaves, tightly packed

1/2 cup creamy Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

4 large whole-wheat tortillas

1 cup mixed greens (choose from spinach, arugula, or lettuce)

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced

Optional: 1/2 avocado, sliced for a creamy addition

Instructions
 

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with Greek yogurt, fresh lemon juice, honey, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir well until the chicken is thoroughly coated in the creamy yogurt mixture, ensuring every piece is flavored.

    Place the whole-wheat tortillas on a clean, flat surface. For added flexibility, warm them in a skillet over low heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or microwave them briefly until soft.

      On each tortilla, start by laying down a generous handful of mixed greens. Next, spoon an equal portion of the chicken mixture over the greens. Top this with halved cherry tomatoes, thin slices of red onion, and the optional avocado slices for extra creaminess.

        To wrap, fold in the sides of each tortilla and then roll from the bottom upwards, ensuring the fillings are tucked in tightly to create a secure wrap. Repeat this process for all four tortillas.

          For easy handling, slice each wrapped tortilla in half diagonally. Arrange on a platter for an inviting presentation.

            Enjoy these wraps immediately for a fresh lunch, or refrigerate them for up to an hour before serving. They're a delightful option for a light meal or perfect for taking on a picnic!
