Spice up your lunchtime routine with these Chicken Hummus Naan Wraps - they're a tasty mix of Mediterranean tastes and quick prep. I've tried tons of different combos, and I've found that how you stack everything and balance the smooth, crispy, and zingy parts makes all the difference.
A few weeks back, I brought these to a laid-back work thing, and they were gone in seconds. My trick? I made sure the hummus wasn't cold so it spread easily, and I warmed the naan just right so it folded nicely without getting too crisp.
Key Ingredients and What They Do
- Naan bread: Gives you a soft, filling base that doesn't fall apart
- Hummus: Works double duty as a spread and protein boost
- Rotisserie chicken: Saves time without giving up good taste
- Fresh vegetables: Add a nice snap and color
- Vinaigrette: Pulls all the flavors together with a tangy kick

Step-by-Step Cooking Guide
- How to Layer Everything Just Right
- Give the naan a quick warm-up so it bends easily. Spread hummus all the way to the sides for full coverage. Add chicken while it's still a bit warm. Stack veggies from toughest to softest.
- Getting the Dressing Just Right
- Mix it really well so everything blends. Add salt and pepper bit by bit, tasting as you go. Put honey in at the end to cut the tang. Make more than you need for later.
- How to Wrap It Up Nicely
- Don't stuff too much in. Fold the sides in good. Roll it up tight so it stays together. Use some paper to keep it neat.

I've found out that if you let your wrapped naan sit for about 5 minutes, the flavors mix together really well but everything still keeps its own special feel.
These wraps hit that sweet spot between easy-to-make and super tasty. The way the smooth hummus works with the soft chicken while the fresh veggies give you that nice crunch makes for a meal that's both good for you and really yummy.
Getting Ready for Busy Days
Set yourself up for quick wraps all week:
Cut up lots of veggies and keep them in sealed containers
Mix up extra dressing and store it on its own
Pull apart chicken ahead of time
Keep hummus in serving sizes ready to use
Fixing Common Problems
After making these wraps countless times, here's what I've learned:
If your naan breaks: Just warm it slightly, not too much
If everything's too dry: Add more hummus or dressing
If stuff falls out: Don't overfill and roll it tighter
If your veggies make things soggy: Dry them extra well
Changing With The Seasons
The basic wrap works great year-round with these tweaks:
Spring: Toss in some pea shoots and sliced radishes
Summer: Add juicy tomatoes and fresh herbs
Fall: Mix in some roasted squash
Winter: Add pickled veggies for a bright taste
Great Sides To Go With It
Round out your meal with:
Greek-style potato wedges
Tabbouleh salad
Crunchy roasted chickpeas
Mediterranean quinoa salad
