Ingredients
  

2 large cooked chicken breasts, shredded or sliced

4 large whole wheat or spinach tortillas

1 cup fresh mozzarella balls, halved

2 cups fresh baby spinach

2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup fresh basil leaves

½ cup balsamic glaze

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: 1 ripe avocado, sliced

Instructions
 

Prep the Ingredients: Begin by preparing your ingredients. Shred or slice the cooked chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Halve the cherry tomatoes and fresh mozzarella balls. If you're opting for avocado, slice it thinly for easy layering.

    Assemble the Tortillas: Take a tortilla and lay it flat on a clean cutting board or plate. Drizzle approximately one tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil down the center of the tortilla, then season with a pinch of salt and a dash of freshly cracked pepper.

      Layer the Base: On top of the olive oil, arrange a generous handful of baby spinach. Evenly distribute the shredded chicken, mozzarella balls, halved cherry tomatoes, and fresh basil leaves on top of the spinach.

        Add the Flavor: Finish your filling by drizzling about one tablespoon of balsamic glaze over the vibrant ingredients, enhancing both flavor and presentation.

          Optional Avocado: If you're including avocado, place a few slices on top of the filling to add a creamy texture and rich flavor.

            Wrap It Up: To form the wrap, fold the sides of the tortilla inward over the filling. Then, starting from the bottom, roll the tortilla tightly towards the top, ensuring all the ingredients are securely tucked inside.

              Slice and Serve: For serving, carefully cut the wraps in half diagonally to showcase the colorful filling. Enjoy them immediately for optimal freshness, or wrap them tightly in foil for a delightful on-the-go lunch option.

                Enjoy your vibrant and refreshing Caprese Chicken Wraps!
