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
Directions
Step 1
Begin by prepping the chicken breasts. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Slice cherry tomatoes in halves and set aside.
Step 6
To assemble the wraps, lay a gluten-free tortilla flat on a plate. Spread about 2 tablespoons of pesto over the tortilla.
Step 7
Add a handful of mixed salad greens, followed by several strips of the cooked chicken.
Step 8
Top with sliced cherry tomatoes.
Step 9
Wrap the tortilla tightly around the filling, folding in the sides to enclose the ingredients.
Step 10
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and serve immediately.
