Ingredients
  

2 large whole wheat tortillas

1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded (or sliced)

1 ripe avocado

1 cup fresh basil leaves

2 tablespoons pine nuts (or walnuts)

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 clove garlic, minced

Juice of 1 lemon

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 medium tomato, diced

½ cup mixed greens (spinach, arugula, or your choice)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Avocado Pesto:

    - In a food processor, combine the ripe avocado, fresh basil leaves, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

      - Blend until smooth and creamy, adding the olive oil gradually until well combined. Adjust seasoning, if needed.

        Assemble the Wraps:

          - Lay the whole wheat tortillas flat on a clean surface or a plate.

            - Spread an even layer of avocado pesto over each tortilla.

              Add the Filling:

                - Divide the shredded chicken equally between the two tortillas, placing it in the center.

                  - Top the chicken with diced tomato and a handful of mixed greens for added freshness and crunch.

                    Wrap it Up:

                      - Fold the sides of each tortilla over the filling, then tightly roll from the bottom up.

                        - Secure with a toothpick if necessary, or wrap it in parchment paper for easy handling.

                          Serve:

                            - Cut each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately, garnished with extra basil or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese if desired.
