Ingredients
Chicken and Seasoning
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Vegetables and Toppings
- 1 cup chopped cucumber
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- ½ cup sliced red onion
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ½ cup tzatziki sauce
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Others
- 8 small flour or corn tortillas
Instructions
- Season the chicken: In a bowl, coat the sliced chicken breasts evenly with garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper to infuse the meat with Mediterranean flavors.
- Cook the chicken: Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken slices and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked through and slightly browned.
- Warm the tortillas: While the chicken cooks, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet over low heat for about 30 seconds per side or until pliable and heated through.
- Assemble the tacos: Fill each warm tortilla with a portion of the cooked chicken slices.
- Add toppings: Top the chicken with chopped cucumber, diced tomatoes, sliced red onion, crumbled feta cheese, and a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce for creaminess.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the tacos to brighten the flavor and serve immediately while warm and fresh.
Notes
- Add kalamata olives for an extra burst of Mediterranean flavor.
- Substitute tzatziki sauce with plain Greek yogurt mixed with cucumber and garlic if tzatziki is unavailable.
- Pair these tacos with a crisp side salad or roasted potatoes for a complete meal.
