Pesto Chicken Wrap
A bright, satisfying wrap that comes together in minutes. Juicy chicken, vibrant pesto, and a handful of greens all tucked into a warm tortilla. Perfect for a quick lunch or a casual dinner.
Ingredients
- 2 baked or rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 4 large whole-wheat tortillas
- 1/2 cup pesto
- 1 cup baby spinach leaves
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup mozzarella pearls or shredded mozzarella
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- to taste salt and pepper
Instructions
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or in the microwave just until flexible.
- In a large bowl, toss the shredded chicken with half of the pesto and a pinch of salt and pepper. This helps the chicken soak up flavor before it goes into the wrap.
- Layer each tortilla with a handful of spinach, then add the pesto-coated chicken, tomatoes, and mozzarella.
- Drizzle with a little olive oil. If you like a creamier spread, you can add a thin line of extra pesto or a squeeze of lemon juice.
- Roll up the tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides as you go. If needed, secure with a toothpick.
- Slice in half and serve immediately, or wrap for a grab-and-go option.
