Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1/2 cup basil pesto (store-bought or homemade)

4 large whole wheat tortillas

1 cup baby spinach

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

Olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional: 1 avocado, sliced

Instructions
 

Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add half of the pesto and coat the chicken thoroughly. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor).

    Grill the Chicken: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C). Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

      Prepare Wraps: Lay out the whole wheat tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread a spoonful of the remaining pesto on each tortilla as a base.

        Assemble the Wraps: Evenly distribute the baby spinach, halved cherry tomatoes, shredded mozzarella cheese, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and sliced grilled chicken over the tortillas. If using, add sliced avocado for an extra creamy texture.

          Wrap It Up: Starting from one edge, carefully roll the tortilla over the filling, tucking in the sides as you go, to create a secure wrap. You can secure each wrap with a toothpick if needed.

            Optional Toast: If you like your wraps warm and crispy, place them back on the grill for an additional 2-3 minutes on each side until the tortillas are golden brown.

              Slice and Serve: Cut the wraps in half at a diagonal for a pleasing presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy with a side of extra pesto or a refreshing salad.
