# What You 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 (about 4 ounces)
09 - ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (about 2 ounces)
→ Vegetables

12 - ½ small red onion thinly sliced
→ Wraps & Sauce
13 - 4 large flour tortillas (10-inch diameter)
14 - ¼ cup mayonnaise
15 - 1 tablespoon plain Greek yogurt
16 - 1 teaspoon lemon juice
# Steps:
01 - Slice chicken breasts into thin strips approximately ½ inch wide for even cooking.
02 - Combine chicken strips with olive oil, minced garlic, Italian herbs, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss thoroughly to coat each piece evenly.
03 - Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Add seasoned chicken and cook, stirring frequently, for 6 to 8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove from heat.
04 - Whisk together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth and fully combined.
05 - Heat each tortilla in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side or microwave for 15-20 seconds until pliable and warm.
06 - Spread a thin layer of sauce across the center of each warmed tortilla, leaving a 1-inch border from edges.
07 - Top the sauce with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, and sliced red onion. Arrange cooked chicken strips over the vegetables, then sprinkle evenly with mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
08 - Fold the left and right sides of the tortilla inward by 2 inches. Starting from the bottom edge, roll tightly forward to enclose the filling completely.
09 - For enhanced texture, place wraps seam-side down in a skillet over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes per side until cheese melts and tortilla becomes golden and crispy.
10 - Slice each wrap diagonally in half and serve immediately while warm.
