Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 teaspoon salt or more to taste
1 cup plain couscous
1 garlic clove, peeled
2 cups fresh basil leaves
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
4 large burrito-size flour tortillas
12 ounces shredded cooked chicken (3 to 4 cups)
16 sun-dried tomato halves packed in oil, drained and coarsely chopped
1 yellow bell pepper, cored, seeded, and diced

Steps:

  • Pour 1 1/2 cups boiling water mixed with 1/8 teaspoon of the salt over the couscous in a small bowl. Cover well and set aside.
  • To make the pesto: Combine the garlic, basil, olive oil, remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a blender. Blend well until smooth. Stir in the cheese.
  • Toast the walnuts in a small heavy dry skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, until aromatic, watching closely to prevent burning, about 3 to 5 minutes. Set aside.
  • To assemble: Heat the tortillas, one at a time, directly on a gas flame, on a grill, or in a hot skillet, turning frequently, until hot and pliable, about 5 to 15 seconds each. Or heat, stacked between 2 damp paper towels, in the microwave for about 10 seconds per tortilla. Distribute 2 tablespoons pesto, 1/2 scant cup couscous, 3/4 to 1 cup chicken, and a quarter of the walnuts, sun-dried tomatoes, and peppers evenly over tortilla, leaving a 1-inch border. Roll up into a wrap. Complete the wraps with the remaining ingredients. Or if you prefer, prepare all at once, assembly-line style. Cut in half on the bias.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my wrap turned out dry and bland. I think I might have overcooked the chicken.

I found the sun-dried tomatoes to be a bit too overpowering. I would recommend using less of them or omitting them altogether.

This wrap was a bit too messy for my taste. I would recommend using less pesto or wrapping it up more tightly.

I found the pesto to be a bit bland. I would recommend adding some extra basil or garlic to it.

This wrap was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would try grilling the chicken next time instead of pan-frying it.

I substituted spinach for the arugula, and it worked out well. The wrap was still very flavorful.
