Mediterranean ‘Tacos’ a la Pumpkin Seed Greek Kale Salad

Yields2 Servings

 1 oz ounce sun-dried tomato strips (not in oil)
 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each) (optional)
 3 oz ounces organic shredded kale or other leafy greens
 Mediterranean vinaigrette (store-bought is okay, or make it yourself, using extra virgin olive oil; red wine vinegar; champagne vinegar; sun-dried tomatoes; garlic; dried oregano; and Dijon mustard)
 3 tbsp crumbled feta
 4 round whole grain lavash flatbreads
 ¼ cup pumpkin seeds
 1 can hummus (store-bought is okay, or make it yourself: chickpeas; water; extra virgin olive oil; tahini; lemon juice; kosher salt; garlic; cumin; and coriander)

Step 1
Soak the sun-dried tomatoes.
In a small bowl, soak the sun-dried tomatoes in very hot tap water until softened, about 10 minutes. Drain and pat dry.

Step 2
Prep and cook the chicken.
Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel; season generously with salt and pepper. In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 2 to 3 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the chicken and cook, turning occasionally, until lightly browned and cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes per side for breasts. Transfer to a cutting board to cool slightly. Cut the chicken crosswise into quarter-inch-thick slices. While the chicken is cooking and cooling, prepare the salad and flatbreads.

Step 3
Make the kale salad.
In a large bowl, combine the kale with the Mediterranean vinaigrette and 2 teaspoons oil, season with salt and pepper, and gently massage the leaves. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and feta, and pumpkin seeds, season to taste with salt and pepper, and toss to combine.

Step 4
Toast the flatbreads; assemble the “tacos.”
On the stovetop directly over a flame, or in a dry medium frying pan over medium heat, warm the flatbreads, turning once, until lightly toasted, about 30 seconds per side. Alternatively, toast them in a toaster oven.

Step 5
Spoon the hummus evenly over the flatbreads, leaving a half-inch border around the edges. Top with the chicken and kale salad. Fold up to form “tacos.”

Serve: Transfer the flatbread “tacos” to individual plates and serve any remaining kale salad on the side.
