Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Spoon or spatula
- Griddle or skillet
- Cutting board
- Knife
Ingredients
For the Wrap
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (about 2 medium chicken breasts)
- ½ cup pesto (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup fresh spinach or arugula
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 large whole wheat tortillas
For the Sauce
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the pesto. Ensure the chicken is thoroughly coated, as this will be the flavorful base for your wrap.
- Tip: For an extra kick, add a bit of red pepper flakes to the pesto!
Step 2: Assemble the Wraps
- Lay a tortilla flat on a cutting board. Place a generous portion of the chicken mixture in the center, layering with fresh spinach, halved cherry tomatoes, and mozzarella cheese.
- Tip: Don't overfill the wraps; this will make them easier to roll and less messy!
Step 3: Roll the Wraps
- Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom. Ensure it's snug, keeping all the fillings secure.
Step 4: Toast the Wraps
- Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat. Place the wrap seam-side down and grill for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Flip and repeat on the other side.
- Tip: You want the cheese to melt slightly while the wrap crisps up for the best texture!
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Once toasted, slice the wraps in half. Serve with a drizzle of the Greek yogurt sauce for a refreshing zesty contrast.
