Ingredients
  

2 large tortillas (whole wheat or spinach)

1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded or sliced

1 ripe avocado, pitted and halved

1/4 cup fresh basil leaves

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup pine nuts (or walnuts)

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons lemon juice

Salt and pepper to taste

1 medium tomato, sliced

1/2 cup mixed greens (like arugula and spinach)

Instructions
 

Make the Avocado Pesto: In a food processor, combine the avocado, basil leaves, Parmesan cheese, and pine nuts. Blend until smooth. While the processor is running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil and lemon juice until the mixture is well combined and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

    Prepare the Wraps: Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of avocado pesto on each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.

      Add Chicken and Veggies: Evenly distribute the cooked chicken, sliced tomatoes, and mixed greens on top of the avocado pesto on each tortilla.

        Roll It Up: Starting from one end, carefully roll the tortilla tightly, tucking in the edges as you go to create a secure wrap.

          Slice and Serve: Cut the wraps in half diagonally and serve immediately, or wrap them in foil or parchment paper for an on-the-go lunch!
