Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s the deal—you don’t need a million fancy things. Just grab:

Chicken breast (because thighs are too messy for wraps, IMO)
Olive oil – the liquid gold of the Mediterranean
Garlic – obviously
Paprika, cumin, oregano – because plain chicken is a crime
Greek yogurt – to whip up a quick tzatziki
Cucumber – crunchy, hydrating, and makes you feel healthy
Tomatoes – bonus points if they’re cherry and cute
Red onion – thinly sliced so you don’t cry about it
Feta cheese – because happiness is salty and crumbly
Spinach or lettuce – so you can pretend you’re making a salad
Whole wheat wraps – the actual vessel of greatness

Optional but highly recommended: a squeeze of lemon juice. Trust me.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Season the chicken. Toss it in olive oil, garlic, paprika, cumin, and oregano. Don’t skimp—flavor is everything.
Cook it up. Grill, pan-fry, or bake until it’s golden and cooked through. No raw chicken, please—we’re not savages.
Make the sauce. Mix Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, a pinch of garlic, salt, and lemon juice. Congrats, you just made tzatziki.
Chop the veggies. Tomatoes, cucumber, onion—get ‘em nice and bite-sized.
Assemble the wrap. Lay down your wrap, add spinach, chicken slices, veggies, feta, and a generous dollop of tzatziki.
Roll it up. Fold the sides, roll tight, and try not to drool on it.
Eat immediately or meal-prep. These babies hold up in the fridge like champs for 2–3 days.

Boom—your Mediterranean Chicken Wraps are ready. Told you it was easy.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Skipping the seasoning. Bland chicken = sadness. Don’t do it.
Overstuffing the wrap. Unless you enjoy wearing your lunch, chill with the filling.
Forgetting to drain the cucumber. Watery tzatziki is just sad soup.
Thinking feta is optional. It’s not. Period.
Microwaving too long. Nobody wants rubber chicken.

Alternatives & Substitutions

No chicken? Use turkey, shrimp, or roasted chickpeas for a vegetarian win.
No Greek yogurt? Sour cream works, but it’s not the same vibe.
No feta? Try goat cheese or even shredded mozzarella (though feta is king here).
Gluten-free? Swap in gluten-free wraps or lettuce leaves if you’re feeling crunchy.
Spice it up. Add chili flakes or hot sauce if you want some heat.

Honestly, play around—it’s hard to mess these up.
