Instructions
Creating scrumptious Chicken Pesto Wraps is an easy process. Follow these steps for a successful dish:
1. Prep Chicken: If you haven’t already, cook the chicken. You can grill, bake, or boil it until fully cooked, then shred.
2. Make the Pesto Mixture: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the basil pesto. Make sure the chicken is well-coated for optimal flavor.
3. Prepare the Tortillas: Lay out the tortillas on a clean surface or board. If desired, you can lightly grill them in olive oil to add a nice texture.
4. Layer Ingredients: On each tortilla, layer fresh spinach or mixed greens, followed by the pesto chicken mix, halved cherry tomatoes, and shredded mozzarella.
5. Season: Sprinkle with salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
6. Wrap it Up: Starting from one end, tightly roll the tortilla around the filling. Tuck in the sides as you roll to avoid any spilling.
7. Grill (Optional): If you prefer warm wraps, place them seam-side down in a hot skillet with a splash of olive oil. Grill until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
8. Slice and Serve: After cooking, let the wrap cool for a moment. Slice in half and serve with extra basil pesto or a side salad for a complete meal.
