Ingredients
  

4 large whole wheat tortillas

1 cup fresh spinach leaves, washed and dried

1 cup arugula, washed and dried

1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded (or substitute with chickpeas for a vegetarian option)

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced

1 ripe avocado, sliced

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup balsamic vinaigrette dressing

Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by washing the spinach and arugula thoroughly; drain and pat dry with a paper towel. Slice the cherry tomatoes in half, cut the cucumber into thin rounds, and slice the avocado. If using chicken, ensure it is cooked through and shredded into bite-sized pieces.

    Warm the Tortillas: In a skillet over low heat, gently warm the whole wheat tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side. This will make them more pliable and easier to roll without tearing.

      Layer the Wraps: Place each warmed tortilla on a flat surface. Begin by laying a generous handful of fresh spinach and arugula in the center. Next, add the shredded chicken or chickpeas, followed by a vibrant layer of halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, and avocado.

        Add Cheese and Dressing: Now, sprinkle a layer of shredded mozzarella cheese over the colorful fillings to add creaminess and flavor. Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette dressing evenly over the top, then season with salt and freshly ground pepper according to your taste preference.

          Roll and Wrap: To form a tight wrap, start by carefully folding in the sides of the tortilla towards the center. Then, roll the tortilla from the bottom up, encasing the filling securely inside. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and fillings to create a delightful array of wraps.

            Slice and Serve: Once all the wraps are assembled, take a sharp knife and slice each wrap in half diagonally for easy handling. Arrange the wraps on a platter and serve with additional balsamic vinaigrette on the side for a zesty dipping option, if desired.
