Pesto Chicken Wrap Delight (Print Version)

Tender chicken, basil pesto, fresh veggies, and creamy cheese in a vibrant wrap for a quick lunch.

# What You'll Need:

→ Chicken

01 - 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or sliced

→ 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 (10-inch) flour tortillas
09 - Salt, to taste
10 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

# How to Make It:

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

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It comes together faster than you can order delivery, yet tastes like you actually tried.
  • The wraps are endlessly forgiving—use what you have in your crisper drawer and it somehow works.
  • You get real protein and vegetables that actually taste good, not like you're eating your vegetables as punishment.
02 -
  • Warming those tortillas is not optional—room temperature tortillas will crack and ruin everything you've built, and you'll be genuinely upset with yourself.
  • Don't oversaturate the wrap with pesto or tomato juice, or you'll end up with a soggy bottom layer that deteriorates as soon as you lift it; more seasoning comes from restraint.
03 -
  • If you have a panini press or grill pan, warming the finished wrap for two minutes per side creates a crispy exterior that makes it feel restaurant-quality and actually helps hold everything together.
  • Keep your knife sharp and your tomato slices thin—the difference between a wrap that stays together and one that falls apart often comes down to how cleanly you've cut your vegetables.
