6. Serve fresh, or wrap tightly in foil to take with you.

Good to know

When it needs to be quick, these wraps are just right. Warm, crunchy and pleasantly satisfying. A meal like this often saves lunch or dinner.

Swaps

Chicken breast → turkey breast (similar protein content and usually a little milder in flavour); wholemeal wraps → lettuce leaves or nori sheets (fewer carbs); hummus → mashed avocado with lemon juice (more monounsaturated fatty acids); cucumber → finely sliced red cabbage (more fibre and extra plant compounds).

Allergens

Contains gluten from the wraps and may contain sesame if the hummus is made with tahini; well suited to children when mildly seasoned, and fine during pregnancy with chicken that's cooked all the way through.
