YES, it's finally time for a great lunch recipe! I don't eat lunch at home all that often, but when I do, I make it count. Just slapping something on bread feels boring to me, so I always try to make my lunch something worth looking forward to. I also like to keep it healthy and not too complicated. Wraps with chicken are honestly perfect for that.
Regular wraps are great, but have you ever come across beetroot tortillas or carrot tortillas? Not only do they look amazing (hello, red and orange!) but they taste fantastic too — and unlike regular wraps, they contain nearly 50% vegetables.
You could go the classic route — always a winner — with cream cheese and smoked salmon, but it's way more fun to give these special wraps a filling to match. In my case it got a little extra special, because making the avocado spread was the first time I got to use my brand-new food processor from Magimix. Wow, I had no idea how much I'd been missing one! I used to have a food processor but gave it away when I thought I was getting a new one — turns out it was a stand mixer that could only mix and knead. The number of times I've been without ever since…
1. Place the avocado in the food processor along with the feta, lemon juice, olive oil and a little salt and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
2. Slice the smoked chicken. Spread the avocado mixture over the wraps, then top with a handful of lamb's lettuce, followed by the chicken and sprouts.
3. Fold both sides of the wrap inward and secure with a skewer to keep it together. If you're taking these to go, slice the chicken smaller and roll the wraps up tightly — great for work or a picnic. Enjoy!
