→ Wraps & Sauce
13 - 4 large flour tortillas
14 - ¼ cup mayonnaise
15 - 1 tablespoon plain Greek yogurt
16 - 1 teaspoon lemon juice
# How to make it:
01 - Slice the chicken breasts into thin strips for even cooking.
02 - Toss chicken strips with olive oil, minced garlic, Italian herbs, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
03 - Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add seasoned chicken and cook, stirring frequently, for 6 to 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 combined.
05 - Heat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until warm and pliable.
06 - Lay out each warm tortilla. Spread a thin layer of sauce across the center. Layer with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, and sliced red onion.
07 - Top vegetables with cooked chicken strips. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
08 - Fold in both sides of the tortilla, then roll tightly from the bottom to encase the filling completely.
09 - Place wraps seam-side down in a skillet over medium heat. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side until cheese melts and tortilla becomes golden.
10 - Slice each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately while warm.
# Expert suggestions:
01 -
- Everything comes together in under 30 minutes, making it perfect for those weeknight evenings when cooking feels like too much effort
- The warm, seasoned chicken against crisp vegetables and cool sauce creates this incredible texture contrast that hits every single craving
02 -
- Warm tortillas are non-negotiable here, cold ones will split and tear the moment you try to roll them
- Dont overload the wraps or rolling becomes impossible and everything falls out when you take that first bite
03 -
- Let the chicken rest for a couple of minutes after cooking so the juices redistribute
- Grate your own cheese instead of buying pre-shredded, it melts so much better
