Ingredient Notes
1 cup fresh spinach brings a nutritious green crunch. Substitute with arugula or kale for a slightly peppery flavor. 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomato pesto offers rich Mediterranean taste; homemade or store-bought works well. 1 pound of grilled chicken or marinated tofu provides satisfying protein. Lastly, 1/2 cup crumbled feta adds creamy tanginess; goat cheese can be a good alternative.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh spinach and sun-dried tomato pesto.
- Toss until evenly coated.
- Step 2: If using chicken, slice it and stir it gently into the spinach mixture.
- For tofu, cube it into bite-sized pieces.
- Step 3: Lay large wraps flat, placing the spinach and protein mixture down the center.
- Step 4: Sprinkle crumbled feta on top, then fold each side in and roll tightly.
- Slice in half and serve with an extra drizzle of pesto for dipping.
Things I’ve Learned
Always ensure wraps are heated slightly before filling them; this makes them more pliable. They store well in the refrigerator for a day, keeping the flavors intact. For meal prep, you can assemble the filling beforehand, and just roll them in the morning. Leftover wraps can be warmed in a skillet to crisp them up.
