13 - 1 tablespoon plain Greek yogurt
14 - 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

# Directions:
01 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until aromatic, ensuring it does not brown.

03 - In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, plain Greek yogurt, fresh parsley, and lemon juice. Stir until smooth and set aside.
04 - Warm flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 20 to 30 seconds until flexible.
05 - Distribute the chicken mixture evenly onto the center of each tortilla. Layer with shredded cheddar cheese, chopped romaine lettuce, diced tomato, and thinly sliced red onion.
06 - Drizzle the prepared sauce over the fillings in each tortilla.
07 - Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll tightly to enclose the fillings, forming wraps.
08 - Place assembled wraps seam-side down in a skillet or panini press over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes until golden and cheese is melted.
09 - Cut each wrap in half at a diagonal and serve while warm.
# Expert Suggestions:

- Packed with juicy chicken and gooey cheese, every bite tastes like a cheat meal — even though it's honestly pretty wholesome.

- Tasting the sauce before assembling is key; an extra pinch of salt or squeeze of lemon completely changes it for the better.
03 -
- Lining up all your fillings before warming tortillas makes assembly super quick and less messy.
- Pressing your finished wrap in a hot skillet with a weighted pan gives extra crunch and ensures melted cheese all the way through.
