Description

Delicious tacos loaded with chicken, fresh veggies, and creamy feta, perfect for a healthy meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound chicken breast
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 small tortillas
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup chopped cucumber
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion
  • Lettuce or spinach for serving
  • Tzatziki sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper.
  2. Marinate the chicken in this mixture for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  3. Grill or sauté the chicken until fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes per side.
  4. Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes, then slice it into strips.
  5. Warm the tortillas in a skillet or microwave.
  6. Assemble the tacos by layering the chicken, diced tomatoes, chopped cucumber, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped red onion in each tortilla.
  7. Serve with lettuce or spinach, and drizzle with tzatziki sauce if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, let the chicken marinate for longer, up to 2 hours. Use whole wheat or corn tortillas for a healthier option.
