Culinary Tips for the best Pesto Chicken Wrap
Use a 10” tortilla to keep everything neatly tucked inside. If you go bigger, don’t skimp—add more filling!
Keep an eye on the heat as your wrap cooks. Too hot, and the tortilla browns before the cheese gets gooey.
Starting with room temperature or warm fillings helps everything heat through evenly and faster.
Short on time? Give your assembled wrap a 30-second head start in the microwave to begin melting the cheese, then crisp it up in the pan.
Ingredient Swaps & Substitutions
- Butter or Canola Oil: For a healthier twist, try avocado or olive oil. If cooking over medium-low heat, extra virgin olive oil works great, too!
- Whole Wheat Tortilla: You can use flour tortillas, but keep in mind they won’t provide the same whole grain benefits.
- Shredded Cheese: Feel free to switch things up with an Italian or Mexican cheese blend—or any cheese that melts beautifully.
- Shredded Chicken: Leftover grilled or roasted chicken works perfectly! You can also use turkey for a similar flavor.
- Red Bell Pepper: For a richer, smoky taste, swap in roasted red bell pepper.
- Pesto: Want to keep the Italian vibes but try something different? Marinara sauce makes a tasty alternative.

Health Benefits of Pesto Chicken Wrap
Made with whole grain tortillas and nutritious fillings, this pesto chicken wrap makes for a healthy lunch or dinner!
Whole Wheat Tortillas
Whole grains are a good source of fiber, B vitamins, Vitamin E, trace minerals, and phytonutrients. Replacing refined grains (i.e. flour tortillas) with whole grains (i.e. whole wheat tortillas) may reduce the risk of developing chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and certain types of cancer.
Pesto
Pesto is made of dark leafy greens and extra virgin olive oil. Leafy green vegetables are rich in essential vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients that promote health and help fight diseases. Extra virgin olive oil is a key component of the Mediterranean Diet. It contains high amounts of heart-healthy monounsaturated fatty acids and polyphenols which may reduce inflammation. In this recipe, it replaces the saturated fat typically found in 100% beef meatballs.
Red Bell Peppers
All vegetables provide fiber, vitamins, minerals, and disease-fighting phytonutrients. Aim to eat a variety of colors – each color provides a different benefit. Red bell peppers in particular are rich in vitamin C to help fight off pesky viruses.
Chicken
Chicken is a lean protein source. It is also rich in B vitamins and minerals, such as iron. When consumed as part of a diet rich in vegetables, chicken may help reduce the risk of developing overweight and obesity, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes. Further, white meat is considered moderately protective or neutral on cancer risk. We recommend purchasing organic if it is within your budget.

Cool wraps completely, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. Leftover wraps can also be frozen for up to 3 months. Wrap individual wraps in foil or plastic wrap, then place in a freezer-safe bag.
Tik Tok wraps taste best reheated on a griddle or skillet or in the oven, but the microwave will work in a pinch.
