Chicken Tomato and White Bean Wraps

These Chicken, Tomato and White Bean Wraps are my all-time favourite wrap. Using cold chicken, a homemade spicy mayo and a marinated cherry tomato and white bean salad, this wrap is fresh, healthy and packed with flavour. I like to use home cooked chicken for this, my absolute favourite is cooking it in the slow-cooker for the softest, easiest to shred chicken ever. You can get the recipe for my shredded chicken here.

Marinaded with onions, fresh herbs and lime juice, the cherry tomato and white bean salad really makes this wrap sing a different tune. And the mildly spicy mayonnaise is punchy and ties everything together perfectly. And if you are eating with weaning babies, younger children and fussy eaters - I’ll show you how to simplify their wrap specifically for them here.

Ingredients 

Depending how far you want the wraps to stretch, cook 2 - 3 large chicken breasts. You can also buy pre-cooked cold chicken, go for 300-400g / 10-14oz. 

If you like, you can swap cherry tomatoes for regular tomatoes, just be sure to dice them small. And I like to use red onion, but you can of course use white. 

I always go for the largest flour tortillas available and Old El Paso is our favourite brand. 

For the spicy mayo I use smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic granules and a little lime juice. You can use Nando’s Perinaise instead which gives the same vibe, if you have it already or prefer a shortcut.

How to Make My Chicken Tomato & White Bean Wrap

Watch me make these Chicken, Tomato & White Bean wraps step-by-step here before or as you cook.

Prep Ahead

These Chicken Tomato and White Bean Wraps make a great lunch to prep in advance. You can cook the chicken first thing in the morning, or the day before, just cool and refrigerate in an air-tight container or resealable bag. The spicy mayo can also be made earlier in the day or the day before. The marinated cherry tomato and white bean salad is best made earlier in the day - allowing time for all those flavours to marry.

Kids Cook Too

Younger children can get involved by helping make the salad and also let them assemble their own wrap!

Eat More Sustainably

You can do this easily by using less chicken and increasing the amount of salad you put in the wraps - the white beans are a great source of protein. 

Feed a Crowd

Easily done, just double up on everything. The recipe as it stands will stretch quite far, you can get 8 wraps out of it if you use 3 large (or 4 small chicken breasts) or 400g / 14oz cold chicken.

Storing My Chicken Tomato and White Bean Wraps

You can store leftovers of cooked chicken in an air-tight container or resealable bag in the fridge for 3-4 days and the same goes for the spicy mayo. The marinated tomato and white bean salad will only be good for the day you made it + 1.  If you make the wraps up, eat the same day.

Adapting My Chicken Tomato and White Bean Wraps For Your Family

Eating together is beneficial for families of all ages and stages, for a multitude of reasons; nutritional, behavioural, psychological and for healthy family functioning. This section will show you how to tweak these Chicken Tomato and White Bean Wraps for sharing with a weaning baby, toddler or fussy eater, to help make it easier for you to eat together as a family.

Keeping Younger Children & Picky Eaters Happy

So if you are thinking this wrap is waaaay too fancy for your child to enjoy, then you might be right. But, you can easily simplify it for them. All you need to do is toss some of the beans and the tomatoes in a few drops of lime juice. For the spicy mayo, you can either make it really mild by dropping the cayenne pepper down to a pinch (or up to ¼ teaspoon), or you could just use plain mayo for their wrap, nothing mixed in.

If you have a fussy eater that doesn’t like tomatoes, swap for a veg they do like. Lettuce, thinly sliced peppers or grated carrot would all work well in this wrap.

Making my Chicken Tomato and White Bean Wrap Baby & Toddler Friendly 

These Chicken Tomato and White Bean Wraps are easy to tweak for baby-led weaning. Here’s how to do it:

• Keep some cannellini beans and cherry tomatoes for them to serve plain
• Squash their cannellini beans flat with the back of a teaspoon
• For 6-9 months, using a large tomato (not cherry tomatoes) cut baby a large flat wedge to palm. For 9 months +, slice their cherry tomatoes into quarters and if too large, cut them again into eighths
• Slice their flour tortilla into ½ - ¾ inch strips
• Give them long thin strips of shredded chicken or finger-size strips of sliced chicken
