Ingredients
4 tortillas
4 cups chopped lettuce or mixed greens
1 avocado, diced or mashed
1/2 lime or lemon, juiced
1/2 cup basil pesto
1–1 1/2 cups grilled chicken, cubed or shredded
1 cup tomato or red pepper, chopped (optional)
1/4 cup fresh basil, torn (optional)
Directions
Mash or dice avocado. Pour lemon or lime juice over to keep from turning brown. In a large salad bowl, combine the lettuce, avocado, tomato or red pepper (optional), and basil (optional). Spread a layer of pesto on the tortilla, then add the salad mixture and chicken. Fold the tortilla over the ingredients. Keep in the refrigerator until ready to eat.
Note
Avocado is high in magnesium – great to help calm stress and heal muscle pain from training – and vitamin B6 – important in regulating inflammation and healthy hormones. Basil is refreshing and a delicious way to change up an ordinary sandwich wrap. Basil can help reduce joint pain and fight disease and viruses with its anti-microbial properties.
