And speaking about toppings...your options are endless.But here are some basic toppings that you shouldn't miss
You can have sliced onions


Sliced tomatoes..


Cucumber..


Bunch of Lettuce and you can keep going with whatever toppings you like..
Next take the chicken from the fridge and throw it on to a very hot pan.Spread it in to a single layer and let it stay there for a minute.Discard the juice in the bowl.
After a minute turnover the pieces.
Continue to cook it until nice and brown...

First take a spoon of hummus and spread it on to a heated tortilla or chapathi.
If you dont have this leave it .But add this to your list when you go grocery shopping next time...Try Jalapeno hummus.You can use it on wraps,sandwiches,burgers or just can use as a dip for your favorite pita chips.
