Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 1/2 cup pesto sauce, homemade or store-bought
- 1 cup fresh spinach or mixed greens
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 large tortillas or wraps
- Olive oil for grilling
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: If not using pre-cooked chicken, grill or sauté chicken breasts until cooked through. Allow to cool and shred or dice.
- Mix Pesto: In a bowl, combine the cooked chicken with pesto sauce, mixing well to ensure all the chicken is coated.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay out the tortillas and place an equal amount of the chicken-pesto mixture in the center of each. Top with spinach, cherry tomatoes, and mozzarella cheese.
- Wrap it Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly to create a wrap.
- Grill the Wraps: Heat a grill pan over medium heat and brush with olive oil. Place the wraps seam-side down and grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
- Serve: Slice the wraps in half and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, if desired.
