Begin by preparing the chicken. Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Once the oil is hot, place the chicken breast in the skillet.
Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into strips.
Warm the whole wheat wraps or tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until pliable.
Spread 2 tablespoons of dairy-free pesto on each wrap, leaving a small border around the edges.
Layer half of the fresh spinach leaves over each pesto-spread wrap.
Add the sliced avocado evenly on top of the spinach.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and thinly slice the red onion. Distribute them evenly over the avocado on each wrap.
Place the sliced chicken strips on top of the vegetables.
Carefully roll each wrap tightly, starting from one end and folding the sides inward as you go to hold the ingredients inside.
Slice each wrap in half and serve immediately.
