Want to mix up weeknight dinners? How about some Garam Masala Chicken Wraps?

“Have fun! See you in an hour or two!” Whenever my wife’s parents come to visit, she always heads out with her Mom to get Indian food. Her Dad and I have never been big Indian food fans, so we’d head over to a local sports bar for burgers and beers. This arrangement worked well for a number of years. But then something happened. I kinda started to like Indian food.

My parents-in-law have been up visiting a lot since little Robbie was born back in November. Needless to say, there have been several late-afternoon runs to my wife’s favorite Indian restaurant for take-out. The father-in-law and I would usually scrounge up some leftovers on those nights, but Laura would always ~~ask~~ gently persuade me to try a couple bites of her Indian food. I don’t know if it was hunger or sheer exhaustion, but I gave in a couple of times. And then I started asking for a second bite. You should’ve seen the look on her face…

The other night, I decided to whip up some healthy wraps for us for dinner. But I decided to be ‘adventurous’ and go with an Indian flare. I marinated some chicken and whipped up an easy raita topping for the wraps. (This is the same raita I used for these Curry Burgers.) After grilling up that chicken, I rolled it all up in a couple of Flatout Flatbread Wraps. Boom. Dinner done in less than 30 minutes. (Truthfully, this dinner would only take about 15 minutes if you make the raita and the marinade at the same time.)

We use Flatout wraps quite often to make quick and easy dinners around here. For these Garam Masala Chicken Wraps, I went with the Harvest Wheat variety. These wraps are made with stone ground whole wheat, so they’re packed with fiber and whole grains. Each wrap brings 32g of whole grains. That’s 67% of daily value right there in one wrap! We love whole grains around here, so it’s not usually too hard to get our daily serving in, but hey every little bit counts, right?

These Garam Masala Chicken Wraps were a great segue into Indian flavors. If you’re not familiar with garam masala, it’s simply a spice mixture that’s widely used in Indian cooking. The actual mixture varies widely across the different regions of India, so keep that in mind. We used a basic store-bought version, and it worked out quite well. All in all, I still love my burger and a beer, but Indian food is growing on me. It should. After all, Laura has been working on that one for at least 5 years now. These Garam Masala Chicken Wraps will definitely be making an appearance in our kitchen again soon!
