Ingredients

  • 2 large whole wheat tortillas

  4. Add the pesto chicken, sliced tomato, red onion, and shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
  5. Season lightly with salt and black pepper if desired.

Notes

  • Rotisserie chicken works well for a quick and flavorful shortcut.
  • Add avocado for extra creaminess and healthy fats.
  • Use spicy pesto or red pepper flakes for additional heat.
  • Feta or parmesan cheese can replace mozzarella for different flavor variations.
  • Store leftover wraps tightly wrapped in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat in a skillet to keep the tortilla crisp.
