Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken thighs
  • 8 slices bacon
  • ½ cup pesto
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced into 8 slices
  • 2 avocados, diced
  • 8 basil leaves
  • 4 large tortillas or wraps

Instructions

  • Place bacon on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 400°F for 20 minutes.
  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Place on a preheated grill over medium-high heat. Cook for 4 minutes per side until done. Slice or dice the chicken and set aside.
  • Spread 2 tablespoon of the pesto on a wrap before adding ¼ of the chicken, ¼ of the diced avocado, 2 slices of bacon, 2 slices of mozzarella and 2 basil leaves. Wrap tortillas tightly into a burrito shape and placing seam down. Repeat with the remaining wraps.
  • In the same grill over medium high heat, add the wraps and grill for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown.

Notes

  • If you don’t want to make your own fajita seasoning, you can easily buy one at the grocery store. You'll need 2 packets.
  • Slice the chicken and vegetables as close to the same thickness as possible so they cook evenly.
  • 90 second rice is easy to prepare and works great for these wraps.
  • Buy a block of pepper jack cheese and shred it yourself. Pre-shredded cheese just doesn’t taste the same.
