Pesto Chicken Wrap Flavor (Print)

Tender chicken, basil pesto, fresh vegetables, and creamy cheese combine in a vibrant wrap.

# What You Need:

→ Chicken

01 - 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or sliced (approximately 10.6 oz)

→ Pesto & Cheese

02 - 1/3 cup basil pesto
03 - 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

→ Vegetables

04 - 1 cup baby spinach leaves
05 - 1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
06 - 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
07 - 1/2 cup roasted red peppers, sliced (optional)

→ Wraps & Extras

08 - 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch)
09 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

# Steps:

01 - In a medium bowl, mix the cooked chicken with basil pesto until evenly coated.
02 - Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 10 to 15 seconds to increase pliability.
03 - Lay each tortilla flat and layer with baby spinach, pesto chicken, shredded mozzarella, tomato slices, red onion, and roasted red peppers if using.
04 - Sprinkle salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste over the layered ingredients.
05 - Fold the sides inward and roll the tortilla tightly to enclose the filling completely.
06 - Slice the wrap in half and serve immediately, or wrap tightly in foil or parchment paper for portability.

# Top Tips:

01 -
  • It rescues leftover cooked chicken from refrigerator purgatory and makes it taste intentional again
  • The whole thing comes together in under thirty minutes but feels like something you would order at a fancy cafe
02 -
  • Cold tortillas crack and refuse to roll so that quick warming step is not optional
  • Thin tomato slices matter because thick ones make everything soggy within an hour
03 -
  • Spread pesto on the tortilla before adding chicken if you want every bite to be evenly flavored
  • Toast the rolled wraps in a hot skillet for two minutes per side to make them crispy
