# How To Make It:
01 - In a large skillet over medium heat, warm olive oil. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, ensuring it does not brown.

03 - In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, Greek yogurt if using, chopped parsley, and lemon juice until smooth. Set aside.
04 - Heat flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave briefly until flexible and warm.
05 - Portion chicken mixture into the center of each tortilla. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, chopped romaine lettuce, diced tomato, and sliced red onion.
06 - Drizzle each wrap with the prepared sauce.
07 - Fold in the sides and roll tightly to enclose the fillings.
08 - For a crisp finish and melted cheese, place assembled wraps seam-side down in a skillet or panini press for 2 to 3 minutes until golden.
09 - Slice each wrap in half and serve warm.
# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- Everything is perfectly melty and garlicky, making every bite comforting but lively.
- They come together quickly, and you can sneak in whatever veggies happen to be in the crisper.
02 -
- If you overfill the tortillas, they’ll tear or burst when rolling—be disciplined with your portions.
- Warming the wraps after filling changes everything: skip this, and you’ll lose out on both crispiness and melty cheese.
03 -
- Grate the cheese yourself—pre-shredded never melts as silkily.
- Finish with a squeeze of lemon over the wraps for brightness right before serving.
