Method
- 1
Mix the chicken with the ready made harissa paste (see the base recipe), 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and half the lemon juice. Leave for 10 minutes, or up to 6 hours in the fridge.
- 2
Heat the remaining oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 6 to 8 minutes, turning, until browned and cooked through with no pink inside and clear juices.
7 min - 3
Squeeze over the rest of the lemon juice and remove from the heat.
- 4
Warm the flatbreads in a dry pan or the oven for 1 minute each.
- 5
Spread each flatbread with a generous layer of your ready made hummus (see the base recipe).
- 6
Top with lettuce, cucumber, tomato, red onion and chicken, then roll up tightly. Cut in half to serve.
Tips
- Cut the chicken into thin even strips so it cooks quickly without drying out.
- Check how hot your harissa is before using the full amount. Rose harissa is mild, spicy tubes are not.
- Wrap in baking parchment to keep the wrap tidy for lunchboxes.
Storing and freezing
Keep cooked chicken in the fridge for up to 2 days and eat cold in salads or reheat until steaming hot. Assemble wraps fresh, as they go soggy if left filled.
Questions
How do I make the wraps less spicy?
Use half the harissa and add a squeeze of lemon. A little extra hummus in each wrap also cools the heat.
Can I use tofu instead of chicken?
Yes. Press 400 g firm tofu, cut into strips and pan-fry in the harissa oil for 8 to 10 minutes until browned. The wraps are then vegan if the flatbreads are.
