Ingredients
Scale
Mayonnaise 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 Mayonnaise 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 until all ingredients are incorporated evenly, creating a flavorful spread.
- Assemble Each Wrap: Lay one 10-inch flour wrap flat. Spread one-quarter of the mayonnaise mixture onto the wrap, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. This helps prevent the filling from spilling out when rolled.
- Add Fillings: On top of the mayonnaise spread, add one-quarter of the baby spinach, half a cup of cooked chopped chicken, 1 ounce of quartered cherry tomatoes, and 1 ounce of sliced fresh mozzarella. Even distribution ensures each bite is balanced.
- Roll the Wrap: Fold in the sides of the wrap to keep the fillings inside. Then, tightly roll the wrap upward, away from you, keeping the sides tucked in, until it forms a secure burrito shape. This technique helps keep the wrap intact.
- Repeat the Assembly: Repeat steps 2 through 4 with the remaining wraps and ingredients, making sure each wrap has equal portions of spread and fillings.
- Serve: Slice each finished wrap in half diagonally for easier handling and an appealing presentation. Serve immediately or wrap them up for a lunch on the go.
Notes
- For a healthier option, whole wheat or low-carb wraps can be used instead of flour wraps.
- Sun-dried tomatoes can be soaked in hot water if too dry before chopping to enhance flavor integration.
- Rotisserie chicken can be substituted with grilled chicken breast if preferred.
- To make the wraps ahead, keep the spreads and fillings separate, then assemble just before serving to prevent sogginess.
- Fresh herbs like basil and oregano are key to achieving authentic Tuscan flavors; dried herbs work but are less vibrant.
