Step-by-Step Instructions for Mediterranean Chicken Tacos
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they’re thoroughly coated. Let them marinate for 20 minutes.
- Grate the cucumber, then squeeze it gently to remove excess moisture. In a bowl, combine the drained cucumber with Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped dill, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth and creamy, then refrigerate the tzatziki.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a bit of olive oil. Once hot, add the marinated chicken breasts and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken and let it rest before slicing.
- While the chicken cooks, cut the cherry tomatoes in half, thinly slice the red onion, crumble the feta cheese, and wash the spinach or arugula.
- Heat the tortillas in a dry skillet for about 20 seconds on each side until soft. Alternatively, microwave them wrapped in a damp paper towel for 10 seconds.
- Spread a generous tablespoon of tzatziki sauce on each warm tortilla. Layer the sliced chicken strips, tomatoes, red onion, crumbled feta, and fresh greens. Drizzle with extra tzatziki if desired.
