05 - Lay out the tortillas. Spread 1–2 tbsp of sauce on each.
06 - Layer spinach, bell pepper, cucumber, carrot, red onion, and sliced chicken on each tortilla.
07 - Roll each tortilla tightly into a wrap.
08 - Wrap each in parchment or foil and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • No more lunchtime slumps—the protein keeps you full and focused like a secret weapon tucked into your lunchbox.
  • You can prep everything ahead in under 40 minutes and the wraps stay fresh and vibrant for days.
02 -
  • If you skip letting the chicken rest after grilling, it will lose all its juices the moment you slice it.
  • Layering the sauce first directly on the tortilla stops it from soaking through and keeps each wrap sturdy.
03 -
  • Always slice your chicken against the grain for pieces that stay tender, not chewy.
  • Brushing the tortillas with a tiny swipe of yogurt sauce before filling keeps them pliable and easy to roll.
