Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Gluten-free tortillas
- 2 pieces Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cups Basil leaves
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cup Pine nuts
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 2 cups Mixed salad greens
Instructions
Begin by prepping the chicken breasts. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 7-8 minutes per side, until cooked through and juices run clear. Remove from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.
Meanwhile, prepare the pesto. In a food processor, combine basil leaves, grated Parmesan cheese, pine nuts, garlic cloves, lemon juice, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Slice cherry tomatoes in halves and set aside.
To assemble the wraps, lay a gluten-free tortilla flat on a plate. Spread about 2 tablespoons of pesto over the tortilla.
Add a handful of mixed salad greens, followed by several strips of the cooked chicken.
Top with sliced cherry tomatoes.
Wrap the tortilla tightly around the filling, folding in the sides to enclose the ingredients.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and serve immediately.
