Ingredient Notes

• 1 cup cooked and shredded chicken: Use rotisserie chicken for convenience or cook your own. • 2 tablespoons pesto: Store-bought or homemade, it adds rich flavor. • 1 pound whole wheat tortillas: Opt for large ones to hold all the filling. • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes: Halved for freshness; substitute with diced bell peppers if desired.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Lay out tortillas and evenly distribute the chicken mixture on each.
2. Top with halved cherry tomatoes and roll the tortillas tightly.
3. Slice in half and serve with a side salad or chips.

Things I’ve Learned

To avoid soggy wraps, keep the chicken mixture dry and serve immediately after assembling. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days, but it’s best to wrap them fresh. If making ahead, store the chicken and tortillas separately until just before serving.
