Description

Imagine biting into a warm, crisp wrap that gives way to a burst of fresh, vibrant flavors. This Caprese-inspired wrap is a delightful and easy-to-make meal, perfect for a quick lunch or light dinner. The heart of this wrap is the classic combination of juicy tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, and fragrant basil pesto.

The pesto, with its rich, herbaceous notes, beautifully coats the other ingredients, creating a symphony of taste with every bite. Thinly sliced red onion adds a subtle sharpness that cuts through the richness of the cheese and pesto, adding a welcome contrast. Tender slices of deli chicken provide a satisfying protein element, making the wrap a complete and fulfilling meal.

Small, soft mozzarella pearls contribute a wonderful creamy texture that complements the other ingredients. These little bursts of milky flavor melt slightly as the wrap is heated, adding a luxurious touch. The wrap itself is carefully folded using a technique that ensures even distribution of the fillings and optimal crisping during cooking.

As it cooks, the tortilla turns a beautiful golden brown, offering a satisfying crunch with each bite. The warmth of the wrap gently softens the cheese and melds the flavors together, creating a harmonious and comforting experience. For an extra touch of indulgence, serve the wrap with a side of additional pesto or a small bowl of fresh mozzarella pearls.

The bright green pesto adds a pop of color and an extra layer of flavor, while the mozzarella pearls offer a cool and creamy counterpoint to the warm wrap. This Caprese wrap is not only delicious but also incredibly versatile. Feel free to experiment with different types of tomatoes, cheeses, or even add a sprinkle of balsamic glaze for a touch of sweetness and acidity.

The beauty of this wrap lies in its simplicity and the ability to customize it to your own preferences. If you're looking to prepare your lunch ahead of time, you can assemble the wrap and store it in the refrigerator until you're ready to cook it. This makes it a convenient and stress-free option for busy weekdays.

This Caprese wrap is a celebration of fresh, high-quality ingredients and simple cooking techniques. It's a dish that is sure to impress with its vibrant flavors, satisfying textures, and overall deliciousness.

Instructions

    1.
    Make a slit from the bottom of the tortilla up to the center. Imagine the tortilla divided into four quadrants; each will receive filling.
    2.
    To the area left of the slit, add half of the pesto. Above the pesto, place two slices of deli chicken, sliced cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion. In the section to the right of the chicken, add the mozzarella pearls.
    3.
    Begin folding the tortilla, starting with the pesto side.
    4.
    Fold the pesto section up and over the chicken, then to the right to cover the mozzarella, then down, creating a triangle with layers of ingredients. Repeat with the other tortilla.
    5.
    Heat a small nonstick saute pan over medium heat. Add olive oil and place the folded tortilla in the pan, seam-side down. Crisp for about 2 minutes per side, adjusting heat as needed to melt the cheese without burning the tortilla. Serve immediately! For meal prep, skip the crisping process.
