Ingredients Needed
- 2 large red bell peppers

- 2 cooked chicken breasts, sliced
- 4 large whole wheat tortillas
- 1 cucumber, sliced

Preparing the Roasted Red Pepper Aioli
Start by roasting the red peppers over an open flame or under a broiler until the skins are charred. Let them cool, then peel off the skins and remove the seeds. Place the roasted peppers in a blender or food processor.
Add mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.
Assembling the Mediterranean Chicken Wraps
Lay out the whole wheat tortillas on a flat surface. Spread a generous layer of roasted red pepper aioli on each tortilla. Layer with sliced chicken, cucumber slices, feta cheese, and fresh parsley.
Roll up the tortillas tightly, folding in the sides as you go. Slice each wrap in half diagonally for easy serving.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the wraps immediately with extra aioli on the side. They pair well with a light salad or Mediterranean-style side dishes like hummus and olives. These wraps are perfect for picnics, lunchboxes, or quick dinners.
Tips for Success
- Roast the peppers until they are charred for the best smoky flavor.
