# What You Need:
→ Chicken
01 - 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 1 teaspoon paprika
04 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
05 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
06 - 2 cloves garlic, minced

09 - 4 large flour tortillas
10 - 1 cup shredded lettuce

12 - 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
→ Sauce
13 - 1/4 cup mayonnaise
14 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice
15 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
# Steps:
01 - Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips for even cooking.
02 - Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
03 - Add chicken strips, paprika, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and lightly browned.
04 - In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, and garlic powder until smooth and well combined.
05 - Heat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 30 seconds until pliable and easy to fold.
06 - Lay each tortilla flat and spread sauce down the center. Layer with lettuce, tomato, red onion, cooked chicken, and sprinkle both cheeses on top.
07 - Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll up tightly from bottom to top to encase the filling.
08 - For extra crispiness, grill wraps in a pan for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and cheese is fully melted.
09 - Slice each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately while warm.
