Notes + Tips for Mozzarella Tomato Pesto Chicken Wraps

  • Use pre-cooked chicken if you have it on hand! This recipe calls for searing fresh chicken breasts and chopping them up for the wraps but you can just use leftover chicken for this recipe too. 
  • Panini press these wraps instead of pan frying them! If you are lucky enough to have a panini press, you can use that to grill the wraps.
  • Try not to over stuff the wraps. I know it is hard trying not to add too much to the wraps but less is more when it comes to wraps and will make it easier to roll up the tortilla at the end.
