A wrap layered with feta, peppers and carrots, and chicken.

Summer is here and the temperatures have been climbing. That means I’ve been looking for cooler main dishes like salads, wraps, and sandwiches so that we aren’t sweating while we are eating our dinner.

I like to use fresh produce whenever I’m cooking in the summer. While we eat a ton of fresh fruit for breakfast and snacks, I tend to go for fresh vegetables at dinner time.

Buffalo Chicken Wraps with lots of fresh lettuce and tomatoes is a great summer time lunch or dinner. A salad that combines both fruit and vegetables is Pork and Strawberry Salad with homemade Ranch dressing using herbs from my garden. Pineapple Chicken Kabobs are a delicious way to use vegetables on the grill.

I found an awesome recipe for Rainbow Chicken Wraps which used a variety of fresh vegetables in all the colors of the rainbow. I knew that in addition to having a ton of great flavor it would look really pretty as well.

How do you build a wrap?

I think there are four main parts to a wrap. The most important part it to figure out what protein you will be using. Next I like to pick my cheese. Third, decide on what vegetables you will be putting in the wrap. Fourth, choose a sauce to go on top. Of course choosing the type of wrap is a decision but it is a secondary one.

The best way to cut the vegetables to use in a wrap it to either shred them or cut them into thin, julienned strips. You could also cut them into very thin slices.

What vegetables can I use?

There are a variety of vegetables you could use for each of the colors in this wrap.

Red: Bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, or radishes
Orange: Carrots, butternut squash (softened), or bell peppers
Yellow: Fresh corn, bell peppers, or yellow squash
Green: fresh spinach, lettuce, cabbage, zucchini, or cucumbers
Purple: Red onions, purple cabbage, or purple carrots

The chicken can either be grilled or sauteed in a pan. The basic recipe calls for it to have salt, pepper, garlic, and paprika on it. I also added in a few of my chicken spices from Penzey’s which just added some additional flavor. Go with the spices you enjoy.

To finish it off there is an avocado yogurt sauce which is just a light and creamy sauce. If you would rather put Ranch or Italian dressing on the wrap it’s perfectly fine to do that.

Ingredients:

boneless, skinless chicken breasts
salt and pepper
smoked paprika
garlic powder
avocado
plain Greek yogurt (or you can use sour cream)
lemon juice
garlic cloves
spinach tortillas (or your favorite tortilla)
shredded carrots
shredded red cabbage
red and yellow bell pepper
crumbled feta cheese

Making these wraps is simple. You can cook the chicken in a pan or on the grill. It can be cooked when you are ready to eat or you can cook it up to 24 hours ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator until you are ready to assemble the wraps.

While I shared the vegetables that I used in this wrap, you can certainly use your favorite vegetable for each of the colors in order to make your rainbow wrap.

Can I use a different cheese or sauce?

Of course! Use your favorite cheese though the tanginess of the feta goes so well with these fresh wraps. Blue cheese, cheddar cheese, or or a crumble goat cheese would work well too. As for a sauce, Tzatziki, hummus, ranch dressing, or even Italian can be used on these wraps.

How do you store Chicken Wraps?

You don’t. They become soggy if you store them so I recommend making them and eating them. You can make the chicken and the yogurt sauce ahead of time then just prepare the wrap when ready to eat. I did end up taking one to school with me for lunch and what I did was make the entire wrap but I put the avocado sauce on the side and dipped my wrap into it.

These wraps are really tasty and filling too. They are crunchy and filled with flavor from the chicken, feta cheese, and the vegetables. I liked the creaminess and tartness of the yogurt sauce as well.

Rainbow wraps are a great choice for lunch or dinner because they are easy to prepare but filling as well.

What can I serve with my wrap?

If you are looking for summer side dishes that pair well I would go with pasta salad, fresh fruit salad, or broccoli salad. Potato chips, tater tots, or fries go well with these wraps as well.
