  1. Combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 2 cups packed fresh basil leaves, 2 tablespoons chopped chives, and 1 tablespoon lime juice in a food processor. Blend until completely smooth.
  2. Stir in 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

  4. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season generously with freshly ground black pepper.
  5. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to assemble.
  6. Lay a large flour tortilla flat on your work surface.
  7. Spread the pesto mayonnaise evenly to the edges of the tortilla.
  8. Place 2 slices of provolone cheese in the center of the wrap. Top with the sliced chicken along the midline.
  9. Spread about 1 tablespoon of tomato spread along the chicken.
  10. Fold up the bottom edge of the tortilla. Roll tightly from one side to the other, leaving the top open.
