Chicken /Tuna wrap
tuna from a can, or left over chicken.
lite mayonaise
Lite italian dressing (zesty is ok too)
clove of garlic, chopped
1/4 onion chopped
lettuce
baby spinach
cucumbers
grape tomatoes
pack of wraps - preferably wholegrain with flavours.
mix upIsome chicken or tuna with lite mayo, garlic, and/or onions.
Pull out and lay flat how many wraps you want.
put some lettuce on them, spinach.
put chicken or tuna mix on top.
then put grape tomatoes on top of that and the cucumber sticks
( often cut my cucumbers into sticks as it just goes better in wraps).
Pour a little Italian dressing over this. Wrap and eat.
Takes 5 mins to make and tastes great too.
Kids like them too.

Forgot - you can add cheese , ham, or other things . Or you can eliminate what you dont like or have, such as onions or baby spinach, or cucumbers.

These would be good on those "flavored" tortilla wraps... like the spinach ones or tomato basil ones.

We have something similar quite often in the summer. We use pita pockets though. We put cooked cold chicken, cucumbers, feta cheese and onion in a pita and pour ranch dressing over it. I'd love to find tziki (however you spell it) sauce bottled to put on instead of ranch, but so far have not been able to find any.

Oh, Taziki is easy to make. You can make a quickie version by mincing peeled cucumber real fine, adding plain yogurt and lemon juice to the consistency you want, season with salt, pepper and dill.
here's another recipe I found
INGREDIENTS:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon vinegar
1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed
2 cups natural yogurt (Drain plain supermarket yogurt
in a cheesecloth overnight to make proper consistency)
1 big cucumber, peeled and coarsely grated
a pinch of dried mint
a little salt and black pepper
olives, to garnish
Mix the olive oil, vinegar and garlic in a small bowl. Add the yogurt and mix
well. Drain the cucumber and add to the yogurt with the mint, the salt and
pepper and mix again. Leave the mixture 1-2 hours in the refrigerator.
Garnish with a few black olives. Serve lightly chilled, with crispy slices of
courgettes, or slices of fried aubergines. It can be also served as an
accompaniment to roast meat or roast chicken.

Newfygirl, do NOT use commercial tzaziki. It tastes like medicine and has a horrible mouthfeel. Make what Chris said.
Chris, I'm hopping up and down for joy! Why did I never think to ask a woman raised in a Greek kitchen how to make the good stuff??! Thankyou thankyou THANKYOU for the recipe!!! ;D

Tzatziki is THE best - I make it at least once every couple of months - not nearly often enough for my hubby! We got hooked on it when we were in Greece |
