Ingredients
Scale
Spread Mixture
- 6 tbsp mayonnaise
- 3 tbsp chopped fresh basil
- 2 tbsp chopped sun-dried tomatoes
- 2 tbsp finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh oregano or 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 scallion, sliced
- 1 clove garlic, grated
Wrap Fillings
- 4 (10″) flour wraps
- 1 1/2 oz packed baby spinach or arugula (about 1 1/2 cups), divided
- 2 cups cooked chopped rotisserie chicken (about 8 oz), divided
- 4 oz cherry tomatoes, quartered, divided
- 4 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced, divided
Instructions
- Prepare the Spread Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, chopped fresh basil, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, finely grated Parmesan, oregano, sliced scallion, and grated garlic. Mix thoroughly until well blended to create a flavorful spread.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay one flour wrap flat and spread one-quarter of the prepared mayonnaise mixture evenly over the surface, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges. This ensures the wrap holds together well without the filling spilling out.
- Add Fillings: On top of the spread, layer one-quarter of the baby spinach, half a cup of chopped rotisserie chicken, one ounce of quartered cherry tomatoes, and one ounce of sliced fresh mozzarella. Distribute the ingredients evenly for balanced flavor in every bite.
- Roll the Wrap: Fold in the sides of the wrap, then tightly roll it from the bottom edge upwards, keeping the sides tucked in to form a burrito shape. This technique keeps the ingredients secure and makes the wrap easy to handle.
- Repeat for Remaining Wraps: Repeat the spreading, layering, and rolling process with the remaining mayonnaise mixture, wraps, spinach, chicken, cherry tomatoes, and mozzarella.
- Serve: Slice each wrap in half diagonally to make them easier to eat and present them on a serving plate. Enjoy immediately for best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken to save time, but grilled or roasted chicken works equally well.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute the flour wraps with gluten-free tortillas.
- Fresh herbs significantly enhance the flavor; however, dried oregano can be used as a substitute if fresh is unavailable.
- Wraps can be prepared a few hours in advance and refrigerated, but assemble right before serving for optimal freshness.
- Adding a squeeze of lemon juice to the spinach can add a refreshing brightness to the wrap.
