Description

Light, refreshing, and bursting with Mediterranean flavors, these Greek Yogurt Tzatziki Chicken Wraps are the perfect quick and healthy meal. Featuring tender chicken, creamy homemade tzatziki, and crisp vegetables all wrapped in a soft tortilla, they're ideal for busy weeknights or a satisfying lunch.


Ingredients

Scale

1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat recommended)
1/2 English cucumber, grated and squeezed dry
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
4 large flour tortillas (whole wheat or regular)
1 cup shredded lettuce or baby spinach
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1 Roma tomato, thinly sliced


Instructions

Step 1: Grate the English cucumber using a box grater. Place the grated cucumber in a fine-mesh sieve or a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess water as possible. This step is crucial for thick tzatziki.
Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine the strained grated cucumber with the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, chopped fresh dill, and chopped fresh mint.
Step 3: Add the lemon juice and olive oil to the tzatziki mixture. Season with salt and black pepper.
Step 4: Stir all the tzatziki ingredients together until well combined. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, or longer if time permits.
Step 5: If not already cooked, prepare your chicken. Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and oregano, then pan-sear or grill until cooked through. Shred or dice into bite-sized pieces.
Step 6: Prepare your fresh vegetables by thinly slicing the red onion and tomato, and washing the lettuce or spinach.
Step 7: Warm the tortillas slightly. You can do this in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 15-20 seconds per side, in the microwave for 15-30 seconds, or quickly over an open flame until pliable.
Step 8: To assemble each wrap, lay a warm tortilla flat. Spread a generous amount of the prepared Greek yogurt tzatziki down the center.
Step 9: Layer with a handful of fresh lettuce or spinach, followed by a portion of the shredded or diced chicken.
Step 10: Top with sliced red onion and tomato. Add any other desired toppings like crumbled feta or olives.
Step 11: Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom, creating a secure wrap. Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh Greek Yogurt Tzatziki Chicken Wraps!

Notes

For an extra burst of flavor, marinate the chicken in a little lemon juice, olive oil, and oregano before cooking. Don't skip squeezing the water from the cucumber—it's key to a thick, creamy tzatziki! These wraps are best enjoyed fresh, but components can be prepped ahead of time.
