Ingredients

• 200 grams Plant-based chicken strips
• 2 pieces Large whole wheat tortillas
• 1 cup Fresh basil leaves
• 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (vegetarian)
• 2 tablespoons Pine nuts
• 1 piece Garlic clove
• 1/4 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Romaine lettuce
• 10 pieces Cherry tomatoes
• 1/2 piece Cucumber
• 1/4 piece Red onion

Directions

Step 1

To make the pesto, combine fresh basil leaves, vegetarian Parmesan cheese, pine nuts, and a garlic clove in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped.

Step 2

Add the extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the basil mixture and blend until smooth. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the plant-based chicken strips and cook for about 3-5 minutes until heated through.

Step 4

Prepare the vegetables by washing the romaine lettuce and cherry tomatoes. Slice the cherry tomatoes in half, slice the cucumber into thin rounds, and thinly slice the red onion.

Step 5

Lay the whole wheat tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous amount of pesto over each tortilla evenly.

Step 6

Place an equal amount of cooked plant-based chicken strips onto each tortilla, followed by a layer of romaine lettuce, sliced cherry tomatoes, cucumber rounds, and red onion slices.

Step 7

Carefully roll up each tortilla tightly to enclose the fillings, folding in the sides as you go.

Step 8

Cut the wraps in half if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious Vegetarian Chicken Pesto Wrap!
