Ingredients
  

  • 2 pieces cooked chicken breasts sliced thin
  • 2 large flour tortillas
  • 3 tablespoons basil pesto spread evenly on wraps
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for toastings

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Tongs
  • Plate
  • Cooking spoon

Method
 

  1. Arrange the sliced cooked chicken on a plate to keep ready for filling the wraps.
    3 tablespoons basil pesto
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once shimmering, place one tortilla in the skillet.
    1 tablespoon olive oil
  3. Cook the tortilla until the underside is golden brown and crisp, about 1-2 minutes. Flip carefully with tongs to toast the other side until golden as well.
  4. Remove the toasted tortilla from the skillet and transfer to a plate. Spread 1.5 tablespoons of basil pesto evenly over the surface, leaving about 1 inch border around the edges.
    3 tablespoons basil pesto
  5. Add slices of cooked chicken on top of the pesto, arranging evenly across the surface of the wrap.
    2 pieces cooked chicken breasts
  6. Roll tightly from one edge to the other, folding in the sides as you go to create a secure wrap. Repeat with the second tortilla.
