CHICKEN PESTO WRAPS
"This makes a really quick meal for us," writes Gary Phile from Ravenna, Ohio. "It's so easy-and the cleanup is just as easy if you line the cookie sheet with foil. My wife likes to add a dollop of sour cream in hers and I sometimes use tomato basil pesto sauce."

SASSY CHICKEN WRAPS W/CILANTRO PESTO
My biggest challenge with these wraps is not eating all the cilantro pesto with chips before I can get them rolled up. Perhaps you will be more disciplined. If not, make a double batch of the pesto so you can snack without consequences. These a great healthy lunch, and are also pretty cut into slices and served as an appetizer.

Steps:
- Place the sun-dried tomatoes in a bowl and pour boiling water over them to cover.
- Set them aside to steep.
- Make the cilantro pesto: place cilantro leaves, pine nuts, Cojita cheese, cumin, garlic, lime juice,& salt into a food processor, and pulse until mixture is a paste-like consistency.
- Scrape down the sides of the processor bowl, and with the processor on, add the olive oil in a continuous stream.
- After 1/4 c., check the consistency of the pesto. If it is spreadable, but not watery, stop. If it is still too chunky to spread, add a little more oil. But you do not want a runny consistency.
- Place pesto in a bowl, set aside.
- For the Sassy Tomato Vinagrette: Drain the tomatoes and dice (or cut into small pieces with kitchen shears).
- Peel the garlic clove, and using the back of a knife, crush it with the salt until the mixture makes a paste.
- Put tomatoes, garlic paste, tomato sauce, cayenne pepper, vinegar& brown sugar into the food processor and whirl until well-combined.
- Drizzle in the olive oil while the food processor is running.
- Set aside.
- Core and seed the red pepper, and slice it and the zucchini into strips.
- To make the wraps: Spread a layer of cilantro pesto (about 1 1/2 tablespoons per wrap) onto the each tortilla-- stopping about 1/2-inch from the edge.
- Next, put down a slice of the chicken, and spread the top of the chicken with the Sassy Tomato Vinagrette.
- Add a layer of zucchini & pepper slices.
- Roll up into wraps.
