Instructions

How to Make High-Protein Sweet Potato Wrap

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray or sheet pan with parchment paper.

Place the grated sweet potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. This helps create a stronger wrap.

Transfer the grated sweet potatoes to a mixing bowl. Add the eggs, mozzarella cheese, salt, black pepper, and Everything Bagel seasoning. Mix until fully combined.

Spread the mixture into a large rectangle or circle on the prepared baking tray. Press it down evenly to create a thin layer.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the wrap is firm.

Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine the cooked chicken and Greek yogurt in a bowl. Mix until evenly coated.

Carefully lift the sweet potato wrap from the parchment paper and place it on a clean surface.

Layer the lettuce, tomato slices, red onion, chicken mixture, and fresh parsley or cilantro across the center of the wrap.

Drizzle with hot sauce or Sriracha if desired.

Fold the sides inward and roll tightly into a wrap.

Slice in half and serve immediately.

Tips

Remove as much moisture as possible from the grated sweet potatoes to prevent a soggy wrap.

Use freshly grated sweet potatoes rather than pre-packaged varieties for the best texture.

Spread the mixture evenly to ensure uniform cooking.

Allow the wrap to cool slightly before filling to avoid tearing.

Mozzarella helps bind the wrap and improves flexibility.

Cook the wrap until golden around the edges for maximum sturdiness.

Use rotisserie chicken for a quick and convenient filling option.

Add a little garlic powder or paprika to the wrap mixture for extra flavor.

Line the baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Enjoy immediately for the best texture and freshness.

Variations

Replace chicken with turkey breast for a lean protein alternative.

Use grilled shrimp for a seafood-inspired version.

Add sliced avocado for healthy fats and creaminess.

Substitute spinach or kale for lettuce.

Use cottage cheese instead of Greek yogurt for additional protein.

Add cucumber slices for extra crunch and freshness.

Create a vegetarian version using black beans, chickpeas, or tofu.

Mix buffalo sauce into the chicken for a spicy variation.

Add shredded carrots and purple cabbage for a colorful crunch.

Use feta cheese instead of mozzarella for a Mediterranean-inspired flavor.
