Ingredients

Scale

To make Pesto Chicken and Avocado Bacon Salad Wraps, gather the following ingredients:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 slices turkey bacon
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup mixed salad greens (such as arugula, spinach, or baby kale)
  • 4 whole wheat tortillas
  • 23 tablespoons pesto sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

Cook the Chicken and Bacon:

  1. Season the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and pepper on both sides.
  2. Grill the Chicken: Heat a grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
  3. Cook the Turkey Bacon: While the chicken is cooking, heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the turkey bacon until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Set aside to drain on a paper towel.

Prepare the Wraps:

  1. Assemble the Ingredients: Lay the whole wheat tortillas flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of pesto sauce over each tortilla.
  2. Layer the Chicken and Bacon: Place a few strips of grilled chicken and a slice or two of crispy turkey bacon in the center of each tortilla.
  3. Add the Avocado and Salad: Top the chicken and bacon with a few slices of avocado, a handful of mixed salad greens, and a few halved cherry tomatoes (if using).
  4. Wrap It Up: Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll up tightly to enclose the filling. Slice each wrap in half for easier serving.

Serve and Enjoy:

  1. Serve Immediately: Serve the wraps right away, or refrigerate them for later. You can also wrap them in foil for easy on-the-go meals.
