Ingredients

  • Large flour tortillas or whole wheat wraps
  • Cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
  • Fresh spinach leaves
  • Shredded cheddar cheese
  • Avocado slices (optional)
  • Zesty chipotle mayo (mayo mixed with chipotle powder and lime juice)
  • Cherry tomatoes
  • Mini mozzarella balls or cubed halloumi cheese
  • Fresh basil leaves
  • Cooked sausage slices or veggie sausage
  • Olive oil
  • Balsamic vinegar
  • Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)
  • Hummus (store-bought or homemade)
  • Carrot sticks
  • Celery sticks
  • Roasted red pepper dip
  • Mixed nuts or trail mix

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: If using cooked chicken breast, shred or dice into bite-sized pieces. If cooking raw, season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Cook in a skillet over medium heat for 7-8 minutes until golden and cooked through. Let cool completely. (About 15 minutes)
  2. Make the chipotle mayo: In a small bowl, mix ½ cup (120 ml) mayonnaise with 1 tsp chipotle powder and a squeeze of lime juice. Taste and add more chipotle for extra heat. Cover and refrigerate. (5 minutes)
  3. Assemble wraps: Lay out tortillas on a flat surface. Spread a generous tablespoon of chipotle mayo on each. Layer with spinach, chicken, shredded cheddar, and avocado slices if using. Roll tightly and wrap in plastic wrap to keep together. (10 minutes)
  4. Prepare skewers: Thread cherry tomatoes, mozzarella balls, basil leaves, and sausage slices alternately onto soaked wooden skewers. Drizzle with olive oil and a splash of balsamic vinegar. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready. (10 minutes)
  5. Prepare dips and sides: Portion hummus and roasted red pepper dip into small containers. Wash and cut carrot and celery sticks into finger-friendly sizes. Pack mixed nuts in small resealable bags. (10 minutes)
  6. Pack everything: Place wraps, skewers, dips, and sides into separate sealed containers or a bento box. Keep cold with an ice pack until ready to head out. (5 minutes)

Notes

Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before use to prevent burning. Spread sauces thinly and layer with spinach to prevent sogginess. Prepare skewers a few hours ahead to let flavors meld. Use gluten-free wraps or lettuce wraps for gluten-free option. Substitute chicken and sausage with tofu or tempeh for vegetarian or vegan versions. Keep food chilled with ice packs until serving.
