Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, toss the chicken with olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

2. In a separate small bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt with half of the chopped dill or parsley and a small squeeze of lemon juice if desired.

3. Prepare the toppings by dicing the cucumber, halving the cherry tomatoes, slicing the red onion, and shredding the romaine lettuce.

4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and lightly golden.

5. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.

6. Fill each tortilla with romaine lettuce, cooked chicken, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.

7. Top with crumbled feta, spoon over the yogurt sauce, and finish with the remaining fresh herbs.

8. Serve immediately while the chicken is warm and the vegetables are crisp.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the skillet when cooking the chicken, or it will steam instead of getting lightly golden and flavorful.
