Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken

3. Assemble the Wraps
   
   

   • Warm the tortillas in the microwave for about 20 seconds to make them more pliable.
     
     

   • Spread 2 tablespoons of basil pesto over each tortilla.
     
     

   • Layer with the salad mixture, chicken, crumbled bacon, and cheese.
     
     

   • Fold in the sides and roll tightly to form a wrap.
