Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 lemon, juiced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 large tortillas
- 1 cup Greek tzatziki sauce
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cucumber, sliced
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
- Add the chicken cubes to the marinade and ensure they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour for the flavors to meld.
- Preheat your outdoor grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers. Grill for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice char.
- Warm the tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side.
- Spread a layer of tzatziki sauce on each tortilla. Add the grilled chicken, followed by diced tomatoes, sliced onions, cucumber, crumbled feta, and chopped parsley.
- Fold the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly to secure the filling inside.
- Serve the chicken souvlaki wraps immediately, with additional tzatziki sauce and lemon wedges on the side.
Cooking Tips:
- To enhance the flavor, marinate the chicken overnight in the refrigerator.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes prior to grilling to prevent burning.
- For a healthier option, use whole wheat or low-carb tortillas.
