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.
