The Chew: Mediterranean Chicken Wrap Recipe

The Chew: Tournament of Teens

The Chew crew unveiled the first competition in their Tournament of Teens and one of the two competing in this round, Isabel, whipped up her delicious Mediterranean Chicken Wrap recipe, which she made with Michael Symon at her side in the kitchen.

Although Isabel’s competitor Mohammed made a great Meatball Sandwich recipe that also looked pretty good, Isabel’s recipe was my favorite of the two, because her sandwich uses a delicious homemade Jalapeno Cilantro Hummus (the recipe is also below), which really makes the sandwich special.

I must not be the only one who felt that way, because this is the recipe that ultimately won this round, which means Isabel is advancing to the finals and competing with another recipe later in the week.

Check out my attempt to reproduce this recipe below! And be sure to let us know what you think of it in the comments!
