Season and Cook the Chicken

Season the chicken cutlets with smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic granules, salt, and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet, grill pan, or preheat your outdoor grill.
Cook the chicken cutlets on both sides until fully cooked, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Remove the chicken from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.

Slice the rested chicken into strips.
On each tortilla, layer a lettuce leaf, followed by chicken slices, shredded cheese, and a drizzle of ranch dressing.
Fold and seal the tortilla. Place the wraps on a grill or lightly oiled pan, cooking 1–2 minutes per side until lightly golden.
