Ingredients
  

4 large whole wheat tortillas

1 cup cooked shredded chicken (or chickpeas for a vegetarian option)

1 cup fresh spinach leaves

1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup shredded carrots

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup Greek yogurt

Zest and juice of 1 large lemon

1 garlic clove, minced

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh dill or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Creamy Lemon Sauce:

    - In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and Greek yogurt. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix vigorously with a fork or a whisk until the mixture achieves a smooth and creamy consistency. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

      Assemble the Wraps:

        - Place one whole wheat tortilla on a clean, flat surface. With a spatula or the back of a spoon, spread a generous layer of the creamy lemon sauce evenly over the entire surface of the tortilla, making sure to leave a small border around the edges for easy rolling.

          - In the center of the tortilla, layer on the shredded chicken (or chickpeas), followed by a handful of fresh spinach leaves. Top with the thin cucumber slices, halved cherry tomatoes, and a sprinkle of shredded carrots for added crunch.

            Wrap it Up:

              - Begin by folding the left and right sides of the tortilla inward, covering the filling. Starting from the bottom, tightly roll the tortilla upwards, keeping the fillings tucked as you go. Ensure a firm roll for a secure wrap.

                Cut and Serve:

                  - Using a sharp knife, slice the completed wrap in half diagonally for easy eating. Repeat the assembly with the remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.

                    - Serve the wraps immediately, optionally garnished with a sprinkle of fresh dill or parsley for an extra burst of flavor and color. Enjoy your refreshing lemon zest delight!
