So light, healthy and easy, these flavorful Healthy Spinach & Chipotle Chicken Wraps will be a welcome addition to your lunch!

Wraps or sandwiches – which  do you prefer?

Chipotle Chicken Spinach Wrap | Inspiration KitchenWho loves wraps?  Raise your hand.

Guess what?  For the first dozens of years of my life, you would’ve found me sitting on my hands, hiding them,  hoping that a wrap wasn’t on the restaurant menu.  Surprised?  Yeah, me too.

Over the years, I’ve ordered wraps in restaurants, and every single time, it meant only one word. Disappointment!

Well, disappointment no more – because I’ve discovered wraps made in such a way, that I’ll bet nearly everyone loves!

Chipotle Chicken Spinach Wrap | Inspiration KitchenAnd now, I’m going to share this healthy recipe with you.  And oh!…no worries, I’ll share all my wrap recipes with you, but let’s just take this one step at a time, shall we?  🙂

Ok, now you know how I sometimes say in a recipe 2 to 4 cups of spinach or <fill in any other ingredient>?  I’m sure some of you are thinking “Come on, Kristi!!!  How can I plan, man…if you don’t give me the exact measurements?”  Well, let me answer that!

Chipotle Chicken Spinach Wrap | Inspiration KitchenIt depends on a lot of factors! Here’s just a few:

  1. What size of flour tortillas are you using?  I have primarily one brand of tortilla I use because I love how incredibly soft, flexible and flavorful they are.
  2. How many people are you feeding?  I only have a family of two, and although we eat pretty heartily, it can’t compare to a family of 4, 5 or more!
  3. What ratio of ingredients do you want in your wrap?  We tend to love a lot of meat and lots of veggies, so it can make them tough to stuff – and it uses those precious (and costly) ingredients fast!

Chipotle Chicken Spinach Wrap | Inspiration KitchenBut, there is good news!  The great thing about making wraps at home is:

  • Your ingredients will be much fresher than any restaurants;
  • You can stuff them the way you want them, without the tough budgetary constraints restaurants have to adhere to;
  • They are really easy and fast to make!  You can put them together faster than any service at a restaurant for a mere fraction of the cost!  Who doesn’t love saving money?

What I love most about wraps though, is that unlike a sandwich that is heavy with carb-laden bread, flour tortillas are lighter and let you get the best of the goodies and ingredients inside!

Chipotle Chicken Spinach Wrap | Inspiration KitchenOk, so I need to know…Why do you love wraps?  Or if you don’t, why not?

Now, let’s get to the giveaway, shall we?

Healthy Spinach & Chipotle Chicken Wraps

So light, healthy and easy, these flavorful Healthy Spinach & Chipotle Chicken Wraps will be a welcome addition to your lunch!
Course: Main
Servings: 4 -6
Author: Kristi

Ingredients

Sauce

  • 1/4 cup fat-free mayonnaise
  • 2 chipotle peppers finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon chipotle sauce from chipotle peppers in adobo sauce

Sandwich Filling

  • 4 to 6 soft flour tortillas
  • 1 to 2 6-ounce packages of ready to eat (97% fat free) grilled chicken breast strips
  • freshly washed spinach leaves roughly 2 to 3 cups
  • 1/2 to 3/4 red onion sliced
  • 1/2 to 3/4 cup roasted red pepper sliced
  • 1/2 cup water chestnuts chopped
  • cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions

Sauce

  • Mix fat-free mayonnaise, chipotle chili peppers and chipotle sauce in a small bowl and set aside.

Wrap

  • Lay flour tortillas out flat. Spread chipotle mayo evenly on tortillas.
  • Layer with chicken strips, spinach, red onions, roasted red pepper and water chestnuts. Season with cracked black pepper. Fold in each ends of the tortilla and roll until completely enclosed and folded. Slice in half and serve!

Notes

We love fat-free mayonnaise in our recipes and use it often, which is why you see it called out here. Feel free to use the mayonnaise you like, but it won't be as low fat. 🙂
Also, we like a SPICY chipotle mayonnaise. If you're sensitive to heat, start with 1/2 or 1 chipotle pepper and no chipotle sauce. As I always say - taste as you go - this is what makes you a great cook for what YOU like. In this recipe, I used 2 large chipotle peppers and 1 teaspoon chipotle sauce from chipotle peppers in adobo sauce can.

    Wraps! I’d choose wraps over sandwhiches any time 🙂 I think it’s because, when chosing wraps you get for filling compared to bread – and I just love filings. This sounds wonderful!

    I’m such a sucker for ANY kind of lunch wraps and these are definitely looking perfect to me right about now! I LOVE your photos too, Kristi! Wraps of any kind are always a pain to photograph at least for me, but these look SO gorgeous! 🙂

    I totally agree that it’s hard to place exact measurements on things such as a wrap, and a small tortilla just wouldn’t do for this one! I like lots of veggies, and the combination of all this freshness with the spicy shredded chicken sounds perfect! And that’s a wrap! Lol. (Pinned)

    I would choose your wraps any day over the ones on any menu! They look perfect and I love all the spinach and water chestnuts you added. What a great way to add some crunch and the chipotle in the mayo sauce sounds amazing!

    Healthy chicken wraps sound like the perfect dinner on a busy night. I like wraps mostly because I love Mexican food: tacos, quesadillas, burritos. I always have a package of wraps in my house. I like sandwiches, but I rarely make them for myself unless it’s a weekend lunch. 🙂
