02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
04 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
05 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano
06 - ½ teaspoon salt

08 - 4 large low-carb tortillas or wraps (gluten-free if needed)
09 - 1 cup (3.5 oz) shredded mozzarella cheese
10 - ½ cup (1.75 oz) shredded cheddar cheese
11 - 1 cup fresh baby spinach leaves
12 - ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
13 - 1 medium tomato, diced
→ For the Garlic Sauce
14 - ¼ cup (2.25 oz) Greek yogurt
15 - 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
16 - 1 small clove garlic, finely minced
17 - 2 teaspoons lemon juice
18 - Salt and pepper, to taste
# How-To Steps:
01 - Combine chicken strips with olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Toss thoroughly until evenly coated.
02 - Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add seasoned chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and lightly golden. Remove from heat and set aside.
03 - Whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until smooth and well combined.
04 - Lay out each tortilla. Distribute mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly in the center of each wrap. Top with cooked chicken, spinach, red onion, and diced tomato.
05 - Drizzle garlic sauce over each wrap. Fold in both sides and roll up tightly from bottom to top, ensuring ingredients are secure inside.
06 - For extra crispiness, place wraps seam-side down in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1–2 minutes per side until tortilla is golden and cheese is melted.
07 - Slice each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately while warm.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The garlic sauce alone has converted picky eaters who swore they hated yogurt in savory dishes
- You get that crispy melty cheese moment without the heavy carb crash that usually follows
02 -
- Overfilling the wraps seems tempting but makes rolling impossible and they'll burst open when you try to crisp them
- Let the chicken cool slightly before assembling or the tortilla will get soggy and tear
03 -
- Using a cast iron skillet for the final crisping step creates those gorgeous restaurant-style grill marks
- Grate your own cheese instead of buying pre-shredded, it melts so much better and tastes fresher
