PESTO CHICKEN WRAPS ON LAVASH

This is something we've been having more often lately.  We love it because it's so flavorful.

We start with Lavash wraps. 

Lavash wraps
We get them at a local store, they are a thin, bread of sorts, almost like a flour tortilla but thinner.  They are very low carb too.  One large sheet is only 5 carbs.  Can't beat that if you are trying to cut back on breads and sugars.  You don't have to cook it or heat it up.  It's soft and flexible but because it's so thin, it dries out within a couple of days.  

Chicken with pesto
2nd Man started with some cubes of chicken.  This time he used boneless skinless chicken breast that had already been diced into cubes.  He cooked them in a skillet with some olive oil, salt and pepper until browned and fully cooked.  Then he took some of our homemade basil pesto (yay!) about 7 ounces or so, added it to the cooked chicken and stirred it up.

Baby spinach leaves
Then we got some baby spinach leaves and washed and dried them. 

Diced tomatoes and onions
Lastly he diced up two tomatoes (a red and an orange heirloom) along with a small purple onion diced up.  He put them in a colander to drain over a bowl.  You don't want all the liquid to make your wrap soggy. 


We spread some mayo on the lavash wrap.



We topped that with some spinach leaves.

Then just put on the pesto chicken and top with the tomato onion mixture.  No set amount just depends on how full you want your wrap.

Roll it all up and that's it!

Serve and enjoy.  

We like to cut each in half to make it a bit easier to eat.  It's such a great combination of flavors and using our own homemade pesto is wonderful.  Maybe this year it will be our own spinach and tomatoes too.

    1. Yes, they are on the bread aisle, near the Pita bread. Not saying all stores will have it and if not, ANY thing you want to use as a wrap would work. Tortillas, pita bread, anything like that. It's getting cold here, in the low 40's today heading down tonight.
