In this hectic period of moving house (and not yet having most of my kitchen things unpacked), I find myself craving simple meals. Tasty and nutritious, of course — that goes without saying — but nothing too labour-intensive right now. Not every fusion cooking experiment works out (combining different cuisines can go very wrong: a pizza chili con carne is not something I'd ever serve), but sometimes it produces genuinely wonderful dishes. This wrap with an Italian twist is a perfect example. The wrap is a staple of Tex-Mex cooking, while the combination of chicken, pesto and mozzarella gives it a distinctly Italian feel. Throw in some fresh vegetables and you've got these surprisingly delicious wraps.

Italian wrap with pesto chicken and vegetables

1. Cut the chicken breast into cubes, toss with the pesto and leave to marinate for at least half an hour.

2. Preheat the oven to 180°C.

3. Cut the bell pepper and courgette into cubes and slice the mozzarella.

4. Heat a little oil in a frying pan and cook the chicken until almost done. Add the vegetables and fry for a few more minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

5. Fill the wraps with the chicken and vegetable mixture, fold them closed and place them side by side in an oven dish. Scatter the mozzarella over the top and add a few halved cherry tomatoes. Bake in the oven for about 10 minutes, until the mozzarella has just melted. Once out of the oven, finish with a generous handful of fresh basil. Enjoy!

These wraps make a great weeknight dinner and are easy to adapt to your own taste. Add extra vegetables or swap in a different cheese if you prefer.

Serve the wraps straight from the oven and finish generously with fresh basil. Pair them with a crisp green salad for a complete meal.
