1 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ tsp paprika
½ tsp oregano
¼ tsp black pepper
Salt, to taste
Juice of ½ lemon
For the Garlic Sauce:

For Assembly:
2–3 whole wheat or multigrain tortillas
½ cup light mozzarella or cheddar cheese, shredded
¼ cup baby spinach or lettuce leaves

Optional: chili flakes or parsley for garnish
Instructions
1. Cook the Chicken
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add garlic and saute for 30 seconds.
Add chicken, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Cook for 6–8 minutes, until chicken is golden and cooked through.
Squeeze lemon juice over and toss to coat. Remove from heat.
2. Make the Garlic Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and seasoning.
Adjust salt and pepper to taste. Chill until ready to use.
3. Assemble the Wraps
Warm tortillas in a dry pan for a few seconds.
Spread garlic sauce down the center.
Add a layer of spinach or lettuce, then chicken pieces.
Sprinkle cheese and optional veggies on top.
Roll tightly and secure with a toothpick if needed.
4. Grill or Toast
Place wraps seam-side down on a nonstick skillet or sandwich press.
Cook on medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side, until the wrap is crispy and cheese is melted.
5. Serve
Slice in half, drizzle extra garlic sauce on top (optional), and sprinkle with parsley or chili flakes.
Best served warm with a side salad or baked veggie fries.
