Ingredients
  

2 large tortillas (whole wheat or spinach)

1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded or sliced

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

1 cup fresh spinach leaves

1/2 cup bell peppers, thinly sliced (any color)

1/2 cup cucumber, thinly sliced

1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Olive oil (for grilling, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded or sliced cooked chicken with the pesto sauce. Toss thoroughly to ensure every piece of chicken is well-coated with the flavorful pesto.

    Prep the Veggies: Rinse and slice all vegetables to your desired thickness. If using feta cheese, crumble it into small pieces and set aside for later assembly.

      Assemble the Wraps: Place each tortilla flat on a clean surface. Start by adding a generous handful of fresh spinach leaves onto each tortilla. Follow this by evenly distributing the pesto chicken mixture over the spinach. Next, layer on the sliced bell peppers, cucumber, and halved cherry tomatoes. Finally, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top if you are using it.

        Season: Lightly season the layers of ingredients in each wrap with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences, ensuring a well-rounded flavor in each bite.

          Wrap It Up: To secure the fillings, fold in the sides of each tortilla carefully. Then, starting from the bottom, roll the tortilla tightly upward, similar to how you would roll a burrito, making sure the fillings are enclosed.

            Optional Grilling: For those who like a warm wrap, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Brush the outside of each filled wrap with a small amount of olive oil. Grill the wraps for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and heated through.

              Serve: Slice each wrap in half diagonally and arrange them on a plate. For a delightful presentation, garnish with additional halved cherry tomatoes and a light sprinkle of feta cheese if desired. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious wraps!
