Chicken, Bacon and Black Bean Wrap
This healthy chicken and black bean wrap is layered with shredded chicken, black beans, red onions, kale, crispy bacon and green hummus. Meal prep a few of these ingredients ahead of time and wrap everything together for a fast and easy, protein-filled lunch or dinner.
When you don’t know what to eat, you can never go wrong with a solid chicken wrap. It’s healthy, easy to make, and customizable. Whether you fill it with loads of fresh veggies or more hearty protein options, the variations are endless!
For this recipe, I’m creating a Cali-Mexican inspired chicken and black bean wrap filled with fresh ingredients and my tasty green goddess hummus.
How To Make A Chicken and Black Bean Wrap
- Prep the Green Hummus. This homemade green hummus is made from a blend of chickpeas, fresh herbs, green onion, and garlic. For variety, you could use any of my hummus recipes listed below.
- Shred the chicken. Simply follow my quick how-to and you’ll have shredded chicken in no time. Set this aside.
- Shred some kale leaves and set aside.
- Wash the black beans and set aside.
- Slice the red onions and set aside.
- Make the tortilla. I’ve made my delicious cassava flour tortilla for this recipe, but feel free to use any tortilla of your choice.
- Wrap it together. Spread the hummus first on top of the tortilla, then layer on the kale, black beans, red onions, and chicken.
Chicken Wrap Tips
- Don’t bulk it up. It’s easy to do, but depending on the size of your tortilla you may not be able to wrap it up it if you fill it too full.
- Tie it with a string to keep the wrap together. This is great if you’re prepping these for lunch on the go.
Chicken Wrap Variations
- Switch up the spread. You can try adding my roasted cauliflower hummus, roasted beet hummus, roasted red pepper hummus, classic hummus, or guacamole.
- Add more veggies! Sliced bell peppers and cucumbers work great in wraps, just remember to slice them as thin as possible to make sure you get a little crunch in every bite. You can also add shredded coleslaw for a richer flavor.
- Change the protein. If you’re tired of chicken, pulled pork or roasted sweet potatoes make for delicious and hearty alternatives.
- Add some herbs. Chop up some more cilantro, basil, or mint to give it a fresh taste.

I turned this recipe into a DIY Friday night dinner for the family and it was so fun, easy and delicious. The kids loved it and I hardly had any cooking to do since I used left-over beet hummus and already had some shredded chicken in the freezer. Easy does it ;-)
So glad everyone enjoyed this recipe Babette!
Made this last night using the beet hummus recipe from this website. The hummus is what really makes the wrap and of course the juicy slow cooked chicken.
Hi Virginia – The hummus really does add some extra flavor to this recipe :) Glad you enjoyed it!
Tried to it today. Forgot to add the green onion but really followed her meal prep yesterday.
And made the wrap today: very delish, very healthy, just really great!
The only thing is that I found myself craving for a side of chips or potato. Will try the sweet potato that was in this fall meal prep with it
Hi there – You could also add some sweet potatoes in this wrap as well :) But I’m glad you enjoyed this recipe overall!
I love black beans! This sounds delish!
