03 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
04 - 1 teaspoon paprika
05 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

→ Sauce
12 - 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
13 - 1 tablespoon plain Greek yogurt
14 - 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

# How to Make It:
01 - Warm olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, making sure it does not brown.
02 - Add the shredded chicken breast, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir continuously for 3 to 4 minutes until the chicken is heated through and fully coated in garlic and spices.
03 - Combine mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, chopped parsley, and lemon juice in a mixing bowl. Stir until smooth and set aside.
04 - Heat the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or in the microwave for several seconds until pliable and warm.
05 - Arrange an equal portion of the chicken mixture in the center of each tortilla. Layer with shredded cheddar cheese, chopped romaine lettuce, diced tomato, and sliced red onion.
06 - Drizzle each filled tortilla with the prepared sauce.
07 - Fold the sides inward and roll each tortilla tightly to enclose the fillings.
08 - For a toasted finish, place the assembled wraps seam-side down in a hot skillet or panini press for 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese melts and the exterior is golden and crisp.
09 - Slice each wrap in half and present warm.
