- Cook the chicken breast for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked through and juices run clear.
- Remove from heat and let it rest for a couple of minutes before slicing into thin strips.
3. Prepare the Fresh Ingredients:
- Finely chop 1 tbsp of fresh parsley and 1 tsp of spearmint.
- Chop 1/4 of a tomato and 1/4 cup of cucumber into small pieces.
4. Prepare the Dressing:
- In a small bowl, mix 1.5 tbsp of lemon juice, 4 tsp of flaxseed oil, and 1/2 tsp of minced garlic. Stir well to combine.
5. Assemble the Wrap:
- Lay the tortilla flat on a clean surface.

- Distribute the chopped tomato, cucumber, parsley, and spearmint evenly over the chicken.
- Drizzle the dressing evenly over the filling.
6. Wrap It Up:
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly, starting from the bottom to secure all the fillings inside.
7. Serve:
- Cut the wrap in half if desired and serve immediately.

Tips:

- Cook the Chicken Properly: Ensure that the chicken breasts are cooked thoroughly to avoid any health issues. You can grill, bake, or pan-fry the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

- Fluff the Couscous: After cooking the couscous, use a fork to fluff it gently. This will help to separate the grains and make the texture light and airy.

- Chill Before Serving: For a refreshing experience, chill the couscous and chicken mixture in the fridge for at least 15 minutes before assembling the wrap. This also helps the flavors to meld together.

- Tortilla Selection: Choose a high-quality tortilla to ensure it doesn't tear easily and can hold all the ingredients well. You can also opt for whole wheat or gluten-free tortillas based on your dietary needs.

- Mixing the Herbs: Combining parsley and spearmint gives the wrap a distinctive Mediterranean flavor. Be sure to finely chop the herbs to distribute their flavors evenly in the wrap.

Your Mediterranean wrap is now ready to enjoy! This healthy and flavorful wrap is perfect for any meal and is sure to become a favorite. Serve it with a side salad or some hummus for an extra touch of Mediterranean goodness.
