- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric

- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 units whole wheat flatbreads

Instructions
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips.
In a large bowl, mix together 150 grams plain Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Add the chicken strips to the marinade, making sure each piece is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for best results.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly grease it with olive oil.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill each side for about 5-7 minutes or until fully cooked and nicely charred.
While the chicken cooks, prepare the yogurt sauce by whisking together the remaining 50 grams of Greek yogurt with a tablespoon of lemon juice and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
Warm the whole wheat flatbreads on the grill for about 1 minute on each side.
To assemble the wrap, lay a flatbread on a plate. Spread a spoonful of yogurt sauce over it, add a few grilled chicken slices, then top with cucumber slices, red onion, cherry tomatoes, mint leaves, parsley, and spinach leaves.
Wrap the flatbread tightly, tucking in the sides as you roll.
Repeat the process for the remaining ingredients. Serve immediately and enjoy your Mediterranean Diet Chicken Tikka Wraps.
