Instructions
- In a bowl, combine yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic, spices, salt, and olive oil. Add the chicken and coat it thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2–4 hours, preferably overnight.
- Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-low heat. Cook the chicken for 5–7 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Then, increase the heat briefly to char the chicken. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into strips.
- In another bowl, combine onion, cucumber, tomatoes, and olives. Season them with salt, pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice. If using feta cheese, add it to the mixture and toss gently.
- Mix yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, herbs, and salt. Add grated cucumber (well-drained) and stir. Chill until ready to use.
- Warm the tortillas in a pan or microwave. Layer them with lettuce, chicken, Greek salad, and tzatziki sauce. Wrap them tightly and serve immediately.
Tip: Pat the protein dry before it hits the pan — moisture is what stops a proper crust from forming.
