# What you need:
→ Chicken
01 - 3 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or sliced
02 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
03 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
04 - 1 teaspoon paprika
05 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
06 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
→ Wraps & Fillings
07 - 4 large flour tortillas
08 - 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
09 - 1 cup chopped romaine lettuce
10 - 1 medium tomato, diced
11 - 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
→ Sauce
12 - 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
13 - 1 tablespoon plain Greek yogurt
14 - 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
15 - 1 teaspoon lemon juice
# Directions:
01 - Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until aromatic, avoiding browning.
02 - Combine shredded chicken with paprika, salt, and black pepper in the skillet. Cook, stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes until thoroughly heated and coated with garlic and spices.
03 - In a mixing bowl, blend mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, chopped parsley, and lemon juice until smooth. Set sauce aside.
04 - Heat flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for several seconds until soft and pliable.
05 - Divide chicken mixture evenly among tortillas. Top each with shredded cheddar cheese, chopped romaine lettuce, diced tomato, and sliced red onion.
06 - Drizzle the prepared sauce over the fillings inside each tortilla.
07 - Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll up tightly to enclose the fillings.
08 - For a crisp exterior and melted cheese, place wraps seam-side down in a skillet or panini press for 2 to 3 minutes.
09 - Cut each wrap in half and serve immediately while warm.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The best excuse to sneak extra cheese without anyone noticing.
- Cleanup is barely a blip—one skillet and some chopping and you’re done.
02 -
- If you overfill the wraps, they will burst open when you try to crisp them—trust me, the cheese gets everywhere.
- Warming the tortillas is not optional. Cold tortillas will break and make the whole thing a little sad.
03 -
- Toss just-cooked chicken with the garlic in the pan even if it’s rotisserie—it transforms the flavor.
- The panini press step makes everything next-level; skip it only if you must.
