Tender garlic chicken with melted cheese and crisp veggies in warm tortillas.

# What You Need:

→ Chicken

01 - 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
04 - 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
05 - ½ teaspoon paprika
06 - ½ teaspoon salt
07 - ¼ teaspoon black pepper

→ Cheese

08 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (about 4 oz)
09 - ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (about 2 oz)

→ Vegetables

10 - 1 cup romaine lettuce, shredded
11 - 1 medium tomato, diced
12 - ½ small red onion, thinly sliced

→ Wraps & Sauce

13 - 4 large flour tortillas
14 - ¼ cup mayonnaise
15 - 1 tablespoon plain Greek yogurt
16 - 1 teaspoon lemon juice

# Steps:

01 - Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips for even cooking and easy wrapping.
02 - In a bowl, toss chicken strips with olive oil, minced garlic, Italian herbs, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
03 - Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add seasoned chicken and cook, stirring frequently, for 6–8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
04 - In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
05 - Heat tortillas in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side or microwave for 15–20 seconds until pliable and easy to fold.
06 - Lay each tortilla flat. Spread a thin layer of sauce across the center, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
07 - Layer shredded lettuce, diced tomato, and red onion slices over the sauce. Top with cooked chicken strips and sprinkle generously with mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
08 - Fold in the left and right sides of the tortilla about 1 inch. Roll tightly from the bottom upward, enclosing all fillings completely.
09 - For melted cheese and crispy texture, place wraps seam-side down in a skillet over medium heat. Cook for 1–2 minutes per side until golden and cheese is melted.
10 - Slice each wrap diagonally in half and serve immediately while warm.
