# 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
→ Cheese
07 - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

09 - 4 large flour tortillas
10 - 1 cup shredded lettuce
11 - 1 medium tomato, diced
12 - 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
→ Sauce
13 - 1/4 cup mayonnaise
14 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice
15 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
# How-To Steps:
01 - Cut the chicken breasts into thin, even strips for even cooking.
02 - Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, approximately 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 - Whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, and garlic powder in a small bowl until smooth and well combined.
05 - Heat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 30 seconds until pliable and easy to fold.
06 - Spread sauce down the center of each tortilla. Layer lettuce, tomato, red onion, cooked chicken, and both cheeses over the sauce.
07 - Fold in both sides of each tortilla, then roll tightly from bottom to top to secure the filling.
08 - For crispy wraps, grill in a pan for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and cheese is melted. Slice in half diagonally and serve immediately.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The garlic mayo sauce transforms simple ingredients into something restaurant worthy
- You can have dinner ready in under 30 minutes with minimal cleanup
- Cold leftovers still taste amazing for lunch the next day
02 -
- Overcrowding the pan steams the chicken instead of searing it so cook in batches if needed
- The sauce tastes better after sitting for 10 minutes so make it while chicken cooks
- Wrapping the finished wraps in foil keeps them warm if serving a crowd
03 -
- Let the chicken rest a minute after cooking so juices redistribute
- Don't overfill or you'll struggle to roll them tightly
