Ingredients
Scale
1/3 cup full-fat plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
6 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
Chili flakes, Kosher salt, and black pepper (to taste)
5 cups shredded lettuce
3/4 cup diced avocado
1/3 cup sliced peperoncini
1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
4–6 large tortillas
1/2 cup basil pesto
1–2 cups Tzatziki sauce
Instructions
In a bowl, combine the yogurt, olive oil, chicken, garlic, smoked paprika, oregano, chili flakes, and a generous pinch each of salt and pepper. Let it marinate at room temperature for about 15 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator.
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Arrange the marinated chicken on a baking sheet and bake for about 25 minutes until cooked through. Switch your oven to broil for 1-2 minutes at the end for charred edges.
While the chicken is cooking, mix together shredded lettuce, diced avocado, sliced peperoncini, chopped dill, and crumbled feta in a large bowl.
Warm up one tortilla in the microwave for about 20 seconds. Spread a layer of basil pesto, followed by the lettuce mixture and sliced chicken, then drizzle with tzatziki sauce. Fold in the sides and roll forward until tightly wrapped.
Serve at room temperature or wrap in foil to warm later.
