Ingredients
  

2 cups grilled chicken, sliced

1/2 cup fresh basil pesto

4 whole wheat tortillas

1 cup fresh spinach leaves

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Olive oil for grilling

Instructions
 

Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly brush it with olive oil to prevent sticking.

    Prepare the Chicken: Season the grilled chicken slices with salt and pepper to taste. You can use pre-cooked grilled chicken or marinate fresh chicken breasts in olive oil, salt, and pepper before grilling. Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side until cooked through and slightly charred.

      Mix the Pesto: In a small bowl, mix the fresh basil pesto with a pinch of salt and pepper. This will ensure that the pesto is evenly seasoned.

        Assemble the Wraps: Lay a whole wheat tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the pesto mixture over the entire surface of the tortilla.

          Layer Ingredients: On the pesto-covered tortilla, add a handful of fresh spinach leaves, followed by a portion of sliced grilled chicken, a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese, cherry tomatoes, and sun-dried tomatoes if using.

            Wrap It Up: Starting from one end, tightly roll the tortilla around the fillings, folding in the sides as you go to secure the fillings inside.

              Grill the Wraps: Place the assembled wraps seam-side down on the preheated grill. Grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side until the tortilla is crispy and the cheese is melted.

                Slice and Serve: Remove the wraps from the grill and let them cool for a moment. Slice each wrap in half at a diagonal and serve with extra pesto sauce or your favorite dipping sauce on the side.
