Ingredients
- 200 grams vegan chicken strips
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 pieces whole wheat pita breads
- 0.5 cup hummus
- 1 medium cucumber
- 200 grams cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 4 large lettuce leaves
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the vegetables. Slice the cucumber and cherry tomatoes into thin rounds. Thinly slice the red onion and roughly chop the lettuce leaves into bite-sized pieces. Chop the fresh parsley and set it aside.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Add in the sliced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. Toss to coat and let it marinate while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
Step 3
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the vegan chicken strips and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and heated through.
Step 4
Warm the pita breads in a dry skillet or oven for about 1-2 minutes to soften them.
Step 5
To assemble the wraps, spread about 2 tablespoons of hummus on each pita bread, leaving a small border around the edges.
Step 6
Place a lettuce leaf on top of the hummus on each pita. Divide the marinated vegetable mixture equally among the pitas.
Step 7
Add the cooked vegan chicken strips on top of the vegetables. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for extra flavor.
Step 8
Fold the bottom of the pita upwards and then wrap the sides over each other to form a wrap.
Step 9
Serve the Vegan Chicken Pita Wraps immediately. Enjoy!
