Ingredients
  

2 large whole wheat tortillas

1 cup cooked and shredded chicken breast

1/2 cup basil pesto

1 cup fresh spinach leaves

1/2 red bell pepper, sliced

1/2 cucumber, julienned

1 small carrot, grated

1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled

Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional: 1 tablespoon olive oil for drizzling

Instructions
 

Combine Chicken and Pesto: In a medium bowl, mix the shredded chicken breast with basil pesto until well-coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

    Prepare Tortillas: Lay out the whole wheat tortillas on a clean, flat surface. If you like, you can warm them slightly in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side to make them pliable.

      Layer the Ingredients: On each tortilla, evenly spread half of the pesto chicken mixture, followed by a handful of fresh spinach leaves, slices of red bell pepper, julienned cucumber, and grated carrot.

        Add Feta Cheese: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the veggies for a salty kick.

          Wrap It Up: Starting from one end, roll the tortilla tightly over the filling. Tuck in the sides as you roll to form a secure wrap.

            Slice and Serve: Cut the wraps in half diagonally and serve immediately. For an extra touch, drizzle with a bit of olive oil before serving.
