Mediterranean Roasted Chicken Wrap


Mediterranean Roasted Chicken Wrap

Ingredients

Humus:
1 garlic clove 
2 cups cooked chickpeas
1 small shallot, peeled and coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon (or more) salt
Juice of 1 lemon (about 3 tablespoons)
1/4 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 teaspoons (about) water

Tzatziki:
1/2 hothouse cucumber, peeled, seeded, diced
1 cup Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried mint

Wraps:
1/2 red onion, very thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
2 teaspoons sumac 
4 20x10-inch-oval lavash bread
12 ounces roasted chicken, torn into large bite-size pieces
1/2 head romaine lettuce, outer green leaves discarded, inner crispy leaves thinly sliced
6 radishes, thinly sliced
4 ounces feta cheese, coarsely crumbled

Method
Mince the garlic in a food processor. Add the chickpeas, shallots, cilantro, cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt and blend until a coarse puree forms. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. With the machine running, gradually add the lemon juice and sesame oil through the feed tube, scraping the sides down as needed. Gradually add the olive oil, blending until smooth and creamy. Slowly drizzle in a little bit of water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved. Season to taste with more salt.

Mix the cucumber, yogurt, lemon juice, and dried mint in a small bowl. Season to taste with salt.

Toss the onions with the sumac in another small bowl to coat. Season to taste with salt.

Spread the humus over the lavash breads.

Scatter the chicken over the left-hand side of the lavash.

Scatter the lettuce over the chicken. Scatter the radishes and feta cheese over the lettuce.

Scatter the onion mixture over the fillings.

Spoon the yogurt alongside the fillings.

Starting with the short edge alongside the fillings, roll up the lavash. Cut each wrap in half on an angle and serve.
