Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 12 oz / 340 g), thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 1/2 cucumber, peeled and finely grated
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • Salt to taste
  • 4 large whole wheat tortillas (about 10-inch diameter)
  • 1 cup mixed salad greens (baby spinach and arugula)
  • 1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese crumbles (about 30 g), optional

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine 3 tablespoons olive oil, juice of 1 lemon, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well mixed.
  2. Add the thinly sliced chicken breasts to the marinade. Toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, preferably 30 minutes.
  3. Peel and finely grate the cucumber. Squeeze out excess water using a kitchen towel or paper towels.
  4. In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, chopped dill, lemon juice, minced garlic, and salt. Stir well and chill until ready to use.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add marinated chicken slices in a single layer. Cook 3-4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F).
  6. While chicken cooks, wash and dry salad greens, thinly slice tomato and red onion.
  7. Warm the whole wheat tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave for 15-20 seconds.
  8. Lay each tortilla flat. Spread about 2 tablespoons tzatziki sauce over the center. Layer salad greens, tomato, red onion, cooked chicken, and sprinkle with feta if using.
  9. Fold in the sides and roll tightly to enclose the filling.
  10. Wrap each assembled wrap in parchment paper or foil for easy transport.

Notes

Marinate chicken for at least 20 minutes for best flavor. Squeeze grated cucumber well to avoid watery tzatziki. Warm tortillas before assembling to prevent cracking. Do not overfill wraps to avoid falling apart. Wraps keep fresh up to 24 hours refrigerated. Assemble fresh if prepping ahead to avoid sogginess.
