Ingredients
  

  • 2 whole wheat lavash breads or whole grain wraps
  • 1 cup cooked shredded chicken or lentils
  • 1 cup spinach
  • ½ cup chopped parsley
  • ¼ cup chopped green onions
  • ½ cup roasted red peppers
  • ½ cup feta cheese optional
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier. If you don't have parchment paper, lightly grease the baking sheet with a small amount of olive oil. Giving the oven enough time to fully preheat ensures the wraps bake evenly and develop a beautifully crisp, golden exterior.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, 1 teaspoon turmeric, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 minced garlic clove, and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Stir everything together thoroughly until the chicken is evenly coated with the seasonings. The olive oil helps distribute the spices while keeping the chicken moist and flavorful during baking. If you're using leftover rotisserie chicken, this step refreshes it with fresh Mediterranean-inspired flavors.
  • Place the whole wheat lavash breads or whole grain wraps on a clean, flat work surface. Spread a thin, even layer of plain Greek yogurt over each wrap, leaving about 1 inch around the edges to prevent the filling from spilling out when rolled. The Greek yogurt adds creaminess and a subtle tangy flavor that complements the seasoned chicken perfectly without making the wraps overly heavy.
  • Divide the spinach, chopped parsley, green onions, roasted red peppers, and seasoned chicken mixture evenly between the two wraps. Arrange the filling in a horizontal line across the center of each wrap rather than spreading it all the way to the edges. This makes the wraps much easier to roll tightly and helps ensure every bite contains a balanced combination of fresh vegetables, herbs, and protein.
  • If using, sprinkle the feta cheese evenly over the filling. The feta adds small bursts of creamy, salty flavor that pair beautifully with the roasted red peppers and Mediterranean herbs. Since feta naturally contains salt, avoid adding extra salt until after tasting the finished wraps.
  • Fold the sides of each wrap inward over the filling, then starting from the edge closest to you, roll the wraps tightly into a secure cylinder. As you roll, gently tuck the filling inward to keep everything compact and prevent ingredients from falling out during baking. A tightly rolled wrap also helps maintain its shape and creates a more satisfying texture once baked.
  • Carefully place the assembled wraps seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Positioning them this way helps keep them securely closed while baking and prevents them from unrolling in the oven.
  • For an extra crispy and golden finish, lightly brush the tops of the wraps with a small amount of olive oil using a pastry brush or the back of a spoon. This optional step enhances the texture and gives the wraps a beautiful golden color once baked.
  • Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake the wraps for 15–20 minutes, or until they are lightly golden and crisp on the outside. Begin checking them around the 15-minute mark, as baking times can vary slightly depending on your oven and the thickness of the wraps. Avoid overbaking, which can cause the wraps to become overly dry or too crisp.
  • Remove the wraps from the oven and allow them to cool for 2–3 minutes before slicing. This short resting period helps the filling settle, making the wraps easier to cut and preventing the ingredients from spilling out. Using a sharp knife, slice each wrap diagonally and serve warm. Enjoy them as they are or pair them with extra Greek yogurt, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, or a simple side salad for a comforting, nourishing meal.
