06 - Spread a generous spoonful of yogurt sauce on each wrap. Layer with baby spinach or arugula, shredded cabbage, cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes, pickles, and cooked chicken. Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds and fresh mint leaves.
07 - Roll wraps tightly, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately.
