Harissa Chicken and Rice Wrap

I love this harissa chicken and rice wrap. It has sautéed kale, chicken, red onions, wild rice, roasted red bell peppers, feta and harissa in a tortilla or wrap that gets grilled so it’s a little bit toasted, crispy and delicious.

I also love to dip my wrap in my harissa tzatziki sauce. You can add the sauce to the grilled wrap if you would like. but I love having a cold sauce to dip the warm wrap into.

These wraps reheat well so if you want to make these for meal prep or with the intention of having leftovers, they are perfect.

This recipe can be made with both a dry harissa spice mix or a harissa paste, measurements are found below for both.

If you want to make these quick, use cooked rotisserie chicken and pre-cooked rice. I love the pouches of cooked rice that only take a few minutes to make.
