### Instructions

**Step 1: Marinate Chicken**
In a bowl, combine minced garlic, olive oil, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Add chicken and coat well. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

**Step 2: Cook Chicken**
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook chicken 5-7 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove and let rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.

**Step 3: Warm Tortillas**
Heat tortillas on a dry pan or microwave briefly to make them pliable.

**Step 4: Assemble Wraps**
Spread ranch or aioli evenly on each tortilla. Layer lettuce, sliced chicken, cheese, tomato, and onion. Add any optional extras.

**Step 5: Melt Cheese**
Option 1: Place assembled wraps on a skillet, fold carefully, and cook 1-2 minutes per side to melt cheese and crisp the tortilla.
Option 2: Skip this step for a fresher wrap.

**Step 6: Serve**
Cut wraps in half and serve immediately with your favorite sides.
