Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken, sliced into strips
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, divided
- 1 1/2 cups cooked rice
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup purple cabbage, shredded
- 1 cup carrots, shredded
- 1 cup cucumber, cut into thin matchsticks
- 1 cup red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup romaine lettuce, shredded
- 1/3 cup hummus
- 4 large flour tortillas
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Warm the cooked rice if needed.
- In a small bowl, toss the cooked rice with lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Season the chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Cook the chicken in the hot skillet for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and lightly golden. Let it rest for 2 minutes.
- Warm the tortillas briefly so they are flexible.
- Spread about 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon hummus over each tortilla.
- Divide the rice, chicken, cabbage, carrots, cucumber, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and romaine among the tortillas.
- Fold in the sides and roll each tortilla tightly into a wrap.
- For a lightly toasted finish, place each wrap seam-side down in the skillet over low heat for 1 minute per side.
- Slice in half and serve immediately.
Notes
- Pat the vegetables dry before assembling to keep the wraps from getting soggy.
- Do not overfill the tortillas or they will be harder to roll neatly.
- You can prep the chicken, rice, and vegetables ahead of time and assemble just before serving.
- Extra hummus makes a great dipping sauce on the side.
