Ingredient Notes
1 cup of cherry tomatoes, halved, brings sweetness. You can substitute with grape tomatoes if needed. Use 2 tablespoons of pesto for added flavor, any brand works. The 1 pound of cooked chicken breast can be shredded or sliced; rotisserie chicken is a convenient option. Lastly, 1/2 cup of fresh mozzarella balls adds creaminess, but you could also use shredded mozzarella.

- Step 2: Lay out the tortillas and divide the chicken mixture evenly among them.
- Step 3: Sprinkle fresh mozzarella over the mixture and wrap tightly, folding in the sides as you roll.
- Step 4: Slice each wrap in half and serve with additional pesto on the side for dipping.
