Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 1 lb Chicken breast
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tbsp Cumin
- 1 tbsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Pepper
For the Toppings
- 8 pieces Taco shells
- 1 cup Tomato (chopped)
- 1 cup Cucumber (chopped)
- 1/2 cup Red onion (chopped)
- 1/2 cup Feta cheese (crumbled)
- 1/2 cup Tzatziki sauce
Instructions
Preparation
- In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until the oil and spices form an even coating.
- Add the chicken breast to the marinade and let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
- While the chicken cooks, chop the tomato, cucumber, and red onion into bite-sized pieces.
Cooking
- Cook the marinated chicken in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked, about 7–10 minutes.
- Once the chicken is done, remove it from the skillet and cut it into strips.
Assembly
- Assemble the tacos by placing chicken in taco shells, then topping with chopped vegetables, feta cheese, and a drizzle of tzatziki sauce.
- Serve immediately to keep the shells crisp.
Notes
For a dairy-free option, use a plant-based feta and dairy-free tzatziki. Gluten-free taco shells or corn tortillas can be used for a gluten-free version.
