directions

  • Combine cream cheese, grated carrot and cumin, in a bowl, stir until well combined.
  • Spread 1/4 of the cheese mixture on each of the 4 wraps.
  • Leaving 2 inches bare at the bottom of the wrap.
  • Press 2 lettuce leaves on top of cheese mixture on each wrap.
  • Divide the chicken slices among the 4 wraps, lay down the middle of the wrap, on top of the lettuce leaves, if using.
  • Cut the ends off the zucchini, do not peel, cut in half, cut each half into sticks, divide the sticks among the 4 wraps and place on top of the chicken slices, down the middle of the wrap, to one side.
  • Cut in half and seed the sweet red pepper, slice the halves into sticks, divide between the 4 wraps and place beside the zucchini, in the middle of the wrap.
  • Place the pine nuts on a cutting board.
  • With a chef's knife, press the flat side of the knife on the pine nuts until most of the nuts are cracked.
  • Sprinkle 1/4 of the cracked nuts over each wrap.
  • To wrap: Fold the bottom of the wrap up over the contents, holding it there while you fold the side over, then the other side overlapping the first side.
  • Take a paper towel or napkin and wrap it around the bottom half of the wrap to hold it together.
  • There will be an open "V" at the top of the front side.
  • Enjoy the crunch!

  1. Good basic wrap. It didn't get soggy in my lunch bag but it did seem a little dry. I think next time I would add just a tad of well drained salsa to make it a bit moister.
     
  2. This is WONDERFUL!! I used fat free cream cheese and didn't miss a thing!! I will make this alot it is just delicious!
     
  3. My DH really liked this and I welcomed it as a nice change of pace for the lunch sack. I prepared all of the ingredients on Sunday, and made 2 wraps each on Monday and Tuesday mornings. The cream cheese, carrot and cumin spread really melded and improved with age. We'll be enjoying this again. Thanks for posting!
     
  4. I admit I was surprised by how good this tasted. The cumin really gave it that extra something that brought it all together. I didn't need to improve on it or anything, the recipe was delicious just the way it was originally written. :)
     
  5. This was so good! Fast & easy & I loved the cumin. I also used fat free cream cheese, iceberg lettuce & red onion instead of the pepper & nuts (got plenty of crunch from the onions!). Thanks so much for sharing this!
