  2. Warm the Tortillas: Microwave each tortilla for about 20 seconds to make them flexible and easy to roll.
  3. Assemble the Wraps: Spread a generous spoonful of basil pesto down the center of each tortilla. Add the tossed salad, followed by sliced chicken, crumbled or whole bacon, and your preferred cheese. Drizzle with more dressing if desired.
  4. Wrap It Up: Fold the sides inward, then roll up each tortilla burrito-style, enclosing all the fillings.

Notes

  • Protein Swap: Swap chicken with grilled shrimp or turkey for a fun variation.
  • Make It Veggie: Skip the bacon and chicken, and double up on avocado and cheese for a vegetarian twist.
  • Meal Prep Tip: Store the dressed salad separately and assemble wraps fresh for best texture.
