2 cloves Garlic, Roughly Chopped
2 cups Spinach (roughly Chopped)

1
For the creamy pesto sauce: Toast pine nuts in a small skillet on medium low heat until golden in color.
2
Dump pine nuts, almonds, and garlic into a high speed blender or food processor.
3
Pulse 10 times.
4
Add spinach, basil, salt, pepper, lemon juice, olive oil, water, and yogurt.
5
Pulse or blend until smooth.
6
Add Parmesan if desired and pulse until it is fully incorporated.
7
For the wraps: In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken and desired amount of pesto (the pesto has a lot of flavor so there is no need to drown the chicken in sauce).
8
In a skillet, heat tortillas until they are warmed through; this helps prevent them from tearing.
