Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, diced
- 1/4 cup red onion, diced
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
- 1/2 cup basil pesto
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
Mixing the Filling
In a large bowl, combine the shredded or diced cooked chicken, chopped cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, and freshly chopped basil. Add the pesto, balsamic glaze, salt, and pepper, then stir everything together until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Assembling the Wraps
Lay out a large flour tortilla and spread a generous portion of the Bruschetta Chicken Pesto mixture onto the center. Top with a handful of shredded mozzarella cheese, then fold the sides of the tortilla inward and roll it tightly into a wrap.
Grilling the Wraps
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Place the wrapped tortillas seam-side down and toast them until the tortilla is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Bruschetta Chicken Pesto Wraps warm, straight off the grill, or chill them in the refrigerator for a refreshing summer lunch. These versatile wraps pair beautifully with a side salad, chips, or a tangy dipping sauce like ranch or balsamic vinaigrette.
Notes
Bruschetta Chicken Pesto Wraps are not only delicious but also packed with nutritional benefits. Adjustments can be made for a healthier version, such as using whole-wheat tortillas or reducing cheese.
