• 1 medium Red onion
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

📝 Instructions

12 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

2. Slice the zucchini, red bell pepper, and red onion into thin strips and spread them evenly on a baking sheet.

3. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over the vegetables and season with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon black pepper. Toss to coat.

4. Roast the vegetables in the oven for 15-20 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are soft and slightly charred.

5. While the vegetables roast, prepare the chicken. Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness and season both sides with 0.5 teaspoon salt, 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

6. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.

7. To make the pesto, combine fresh basil leaves, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, garlic cloves, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, adding a splash of water if needed to reach your desired consistency.

8. Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of the pesto down the center of each tortilla.

9. Add a layer of roasted vegetables, sliced chicken, and a handful of baby spinach to each tortilla.

10. Drizzle a small amount of mayonnaise over the fillings, if desired.

11. Fold in the sides of the tortillas and roll them up tightly to form wraps.

12. Cut the wraps in half if preferred and serve them immediately, or wrap them in foil or parchment paper for a portable meal.
