  1. Cook the Chicken: Grill, bake, or sauté the chicken breast for 6-8 minutes until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Let it rest, then slice or shred.

  3. Prepare Ingredients: Rinse and dry spinach, chop sun-dried tomatoes, and shred mozzarella to prepare for assembly.
  4. Assemble Wraps: Lay a tortilla, spread pesto, then layer spinach, chicken, tomatoes, and mozzarella.
  5. Roll Wraps: Fold in sides of tortilla, then tightly roll from one end to the other.
  6. Grill (Optional): Heat skillet, oil lightly, and grill wraps for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  7. Serve: Cut wraps in half and serve with extra pesto or salad.
