  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 small flour or corn tortillas
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or tzatziki sauce
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish
  • Optional: sliced olives, cucumbers, and lemon wedges

Instructions

  1. Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with smoked paprika, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. When hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and golden brown. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
  2. While the chicken is resting, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft. Prepare the toppings: halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the red onion, crumble the feta cheese, and chop fresh parsley or cilantro.
  3. Lay a warm tortilla on a plate. Spread a spoonful of Greek yogurt or tzatziki sauce over it. Top with sliced chicken, then add cherry tomatoes, red onions, and feta cheese. Garnish with fresh herbs and optional sliced olives or cucumbers. Serve immediately for optimal flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use freshly cooked and sliced chicken for maximum flavor.
  • Customize toppings with your favorite Mediterranean ingredients.
  • Warm tortillas adequately to prevent tearing and ensure pliability.
  • Make ahead the cooked chicken and toppings for quick assembly.
