Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 4 large tortillas or wraps
- 1 cup mixed greens
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup cucumber, chopped
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until softened and fragrant, about 2–3 minutes.
- Add the ground chicken, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Break the chicken into small pieces with a wooden spoon or spatula as it cooks.
- Cook for 7–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and completely cooked through. Ground chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- In a small bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, honey, and red pepper flakes until smooth. For a more pronounced feta flavor, stir a spoonful of the crumbled feta into the sauce.
- Warm the tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and flexible.
- Divide the chicken mixture among the tortillas. Top each Mediterranean Ground Chicken Wrap with mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and crumbled feta.
- Drizzle generously with the hot honey feta cream, then fold in the sides and roll each wrap tightly. Serve warm.
Tips & Tricks
Avoid overcrowding the skillet so the ground chicken can brown instead of steaming. Letting it develop a little color adds extra savory flavor.
For an extra-creamy feta cream sauce, blend some of the feta directly into the Greek yogurt mixture. Add a small spoonful of water if you prefer a thinner consistency for drizzling.
The heat is easy to customize. Start with fewer red pepper flakes for a mild, family-friendly version, or add more for a stronger sweet-and-spicy kick.
For healthy chicken wraps with extra crunch, add shredded lettuce, diced bell peppers, or thinly sliced red onion. Whole-wheat wraps can also be used in place of regular tortillas.

FAQ
What is a Mediterranean Ground Chicken Wrap?
A Mediterranean Ground Chicken Wrap combines seasoned ground chicken with fresh Mediterranean-inspired ingredients such as cucumber, tomatoes, greens, feta, and a creamy yogurt-based sauce, all rolled inside a soft tortilla.
Can I make these ground chicken wraps ahead of time?
Yes. Cook the chicken and prepare the sauce ahead, then refrigerate them separately. For the freshest texture, assemble the wraps shortly before serving so the vegetables remain crisp and the tortillas don’t become soggy.
How can I make the hot honey feta less spicy?
Reduce the amount of red pepper flakes or leave them out completely. You’ll still get the sweetness of honey and the salty, tangy flavor of feta without as much heat.
Can I make the feta cream sauce thicker?
Yes. Use thick Greek yogurt and mix additional crumbled feta into the sauce. For an especially smooth consistency, blend the yogurt and feta before adding the honey and red pepper flakes.
What vegetables work well in a Mediterranean chicken wrap?
Cucumber, cherry tomatoes, mixed greens, lettuce, bell peppers, red onion, and shredded cabbage are all good choices. Combining crunchy and juicy vegetables gives the wrap the best texture.
Can I use whole-wheat tortillas?
Absolutely. Whole-wheat tortillas work well for these healthy chicken wraps and add a slightly nutty flavor. Choose large, flexible tortillas so they’re easy to roll without tearing.
Storage
Store the cooked ground chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. Keep the sauce, vegetables, and tortillas in separate containers for the best texture.
The cooked chicken can be frozen for up to 2–3 months. Thaw it overnight in the refrigerator before reheating. Freezing fully assembled wraps isn’t recommended because the fresh vegetables and yogurt sauce can become watery.
Reheat the chicken in a skillet over medium-low heat or microwave it until thoroughly hot. Assemble with fresh vegetables, feta, and sauce after reheating.
