# What You'll Need:
→ Chicken
01 - 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 pound)
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
09 - ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
→ 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
# Directions:
01 - Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips for even cooking.
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.
04 - In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, and lemon juice until smooth and well combined.
05 - Heat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until warm and pliable for easy rolling.
06 - Lay each tortilla flat. Spread a thin layer of sauce in the center. Layer shredded lettuce, diced tomato, and sliced red onion on top.
07 - Place cooked chicken strips over the vegetables. Sprinkle with mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly across each tortilla.
08 - Fold both sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom to form a secure wrap.
09 - Place wraps seam-side down in a skillet over medium heat for 1–2 minutes per side until cheese melts and tortilla becomes golden and crispy.
10 - Slice each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately while warm.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The creamy homemade sauce transforms plain wraps into something you will crave on busy weeknights
- Melting cheese directly into the warm chicken creates those irresistible cheesy pulls in every bite
02 -
- Overfilling wraps is tempting but they will fall apart—keep fillings centered and do not pile too high
- Warm tortillas are non negotiable because cold ones crack and ruin the whole experience
03 -
- Pat your chicken dry with paper towels before seasoning so the spices actually stick instead of sliding off
- Let the chicken rest for a couple minutes after cooking so the juices redistribute instead of running onto your tortilla
