How to Make Mediterranean Ground Chicken Wrap with Hot Honey Feta Cream Bliss
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken (can substitute with turkey or lean beef)
- 1 tablespoon Mediterranean spices (oregano, cumin, paprika) (adjust according to taste)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (can use avocado oil)
- 4 pieces wrap (pita or tortilla) (whole wheat preferred)

Make the Feta Cream: In a bowl, combine feta cheese, honey, and red pepper flakes. Mix until smooth. If it’s too thick, add a little Greek yogurt to achieve the desired consistency.

Prepare the Wraps: Warm the wraps in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable.
