2 cups fresh cilantro leaves

1/4 cup pine nuts
-
3 tablespoons Cotija cheese (Feta or grated Parmesan will substitute)
-
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
-
3 garlic cloves, minced
-
1 tablespoon lime juice
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/4 cup olive oil (more if desired)
-
-
1/4 cup sun-dried tomato
-
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
-
1 garlic clove
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
2 tablespoons vinegar
-
1 tablespoon brown sugar
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
8 -10 whole wheat tortillas

1/2 cup tomato sauce

1 red bell pepper
Instructions
- 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.
