Ingredients

For the chicken:

2 pounds chicken breasts
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper - to taste
2 Tablespoons avocado oil

Remaining wrap ingredients:

6 large flour tortillas
12 oz. hummus
2 medium zucchini
2 medium Roma tomatoes
12 slices Monterey jack cheese
more oil to crisp up the wraps

Instructions

Prep the chicken. Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips and add to a mixing bowl. Then add the seasonings – thyme, basil, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
2 pounds chicken breasts, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Cook the chicken. Heat up a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add some avocado oil and then the chicken. Cook until just done, about ten minutes. Stir frequently to cook the chicken on all sides. Remove the chicken to a clean bowl.
2 Tablespoons avocado oil
Grill zucchini. Wipe out the skillet and grill the sliced zucchini until slightly softened.
2 medium zucchini
Prep tortillas. To help the tortillas from ripping during assembly, I do these two things. 1) Warm the tortillas in the microwave. 2) Lightly brush the outsides of the tortillas with warm water.
Assemble wraps. On each tortilla, spread a few tablespoons of hummus. Then add the grilled zucchini and some slices of chicken. Add the cheese and tomatoes.

Wrap it up. Then fold the tortilla inward by starting at the top and working around all edges. This may take some practice to get it folded nicely but it’s important.
Grill. Then place each wrap into the skillet and brown it on all sides. You want the wrap to be golden brown and crispy. Repeat with all chicken wraps.

Notes

To help the tortillas from ripping during assembly, I do these two things. 1) Warm the tortillas in the microwave. 2) Lightly brush the outsides of the tortillas with warm water. (Also, don't overfill them.)
Instead of cooking the chicken on your stovetop, you could also grill the chicken outdoors. We love using our Big Green Egg to add a smoky flavor.
Chicken is considered done when it reaches 165 degrees F on a digital thermometer. We usually cook until 160 degrees F to allow for some carry-over cooking.
