Whether for a healthy lunch or a light dinner, this recipe is ideal for those seeking a delicious and guilt-free way to enjoy kebabs in handheld form.
In a mixing bowl, combine low-fat yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and ground black pepper to create the marinade.
Cut the chicken breast into thin strips and add it to the marinade. Mix well to ensure the chicken is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables by halving the cherry tomatoes, slicing the cucumber, and thinly slicing the red onion. Set aside.
Preheat a grill pan or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly grease it with olive oil.
Once the pan is hot, add the marinated chicken strips and cook for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.
Warm the whole wheat tortillas on a dry skillet or wrap them in foil and place them in a warm oven for 5 minutes.
To assemble the wraps, lay a tortilla on a flat surface, and place a portion of grilled chicken in the center.
Add a generous helping of cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, and red onion on top of the chicken.
Sprinkle fresh mint leaves and parsley over the vegetables for added flavor.
Drizzle a little extra yogurt or squeeze a bit more lemon juice if desired before folding the wrap.
Roll up the tortilla tightly into a wrap and serve immediately. Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas.
