My inspiration for these remarkable tacos sparked during a recent trip to London. While exploring a bustling street food market, a Greek stand immediately caught my eye. The aroma of warm chicken pita was simply irresistible, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable meals of our entire trip. The moment I returned home, I knew I had to recreate that magic. These Greek Chicken Tacos capture all the essence of that unforgettable experience, featuring succulent Mediterranean-seasoned chicken, a creamy, tangy Feta-yogurt spread, and a medley of crisp, juicy vegetables.

They are an absolute revelation, serving as the perfect, lighter alternative to traditional pita, delivering all the flavor with a fraction of the heaviness. Their ideal texture, thickness, and size make them an unparalleled base for these tacos, and I’m already dreaming up countless other fillings to try with them!

Crafting Your Greek Chicken Tacos: A Symphony of Mediterranean Flavors
These Greek Chicken Tacos are more than just a recipe; they are an experience, meticulously layered with textures and tastes that transport you straight to the shores of the Aegean. Every component plays a crucial role in building a harmonious flavor profile that is both complex and incredibly refreshing.
The Zesty Feta-Yogurt Spread: A Creamy Dream
The foundation of this taco’s extraordinary flavor lies in its homemade Feta-yogurt spread. This isn’t your average condiment. By blending rich, crumbled Feta cheese with nonfat plain Greek yogurt, fresh lemon juice, and a subtle hint of crushed red pepper flakes, you create a spread that is simultaneously creamy, tangy, salty, and just a touch spicy. The food processor works wonders here, transforming these simple ingredients into a smooth, luscious spread that provides the perfect cool contrast to the warm chicken. It’s a bright, refreshing element that ties all the other flavors together, adding a delightful Mediterranean authenticity to each bite.
Perfectly Seasoned Mediterranean Chicken: Tender and Aromatic
The star of our taco is undoubtedly the chicken. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are sliced into thin strips, ensuring quick cooking and maximum flavor absorption. They are then sautéed in a skillet with a fragrant blend of canola or olive oil, minced garlic, dried basil, oregano, and rosemary. This combination of classic Mediterranean herbs infuses the chicken with an irresistible aroma and taste. Cooking the herbs briefly in the oil before adding the chicken helps to bloom their flavors, releasing their full potential. The result is tender, juicy chicken that’s incredibly flavorful, absorbing all the aromatic goodness of the herbs without being overpowering.
Fresh, Crunchy Toppings: The Ultimate Finish
No taco is complete without its toppings, and for these Greek Chicken Tacos, we lean into freshness and crunch. Crisp torn lettuce leaves provide a refreshing base, while diced cucumbers add a cool, watery crunch. Chopped Kalamata olives introduce a briny, salty depth that is quintessentially Greek, and sweet cherry tomatoes, also chopped, burst with juicy flavor, adding a touch of vibrant color and acidity. These fresh elements are not just garnishes; they are integral to the overall experience, providing a vital textural contrast and a burst of natural flavor that brightens the entire dish.
Healthy & Delicious: Enjoying Your Tacos Guilt-Free
One of the most appealing aspects of these Greek Chicken Tacos is their remarkable nutritional profile. In an age where delicious often means decadent, this recipe proves that you can have both exceptional taste and health-conscious eating. With each taco coming in at just 138 calories and 2 WW Points, they fit perfectly into a balanced lifestyle, whether you’re following Weight Watchers or simply aiming for lighter, more wholesome meals. The choice of lean chicken breast provides ample protein, essential for muscle repair and satiety, while the nonfat Greek yogurt in the spread adds another layer of protein along with beneficial probiotics. The vibrant array of fresh vegetables – lettuce, cucumbers, and tomatoes – contributes essential vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber, promoting digestive health and helping you feel fuller for longer. Furthermore, using Flatout Foldit flatbreads significantly reduces the carb and calorie count compared to traditional pitas or heavier tortillas, making these tacos a smart choice for anyone looking to manage their intake without sacrificing flavor or satisfaction. This recipe truly embodies the idea of mindful eating, allowing you to indulge in rich, authentic flavors without any of the guilt.

Pin Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 oz crumbled Feta cheese
- 3 tablespoons nonfat plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- A pinch of crushed red pepper flakes, to taste
- 1 tablespoon canola or olive oil
- ½ teaspoon minced garlic
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 lb raw boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
- 6 Flatout Foldit Artisan Flatbreads, I used the Traditional White variety
- A few torn lettuce leaves
- ¼ cup diced cucumbers
- 6 kalamata olives, chopped
- 6 cherry tomatoes, chopped
Instructions
-
In the bowl of a food processor, combine the Feta cheese, Greek yogurt, fresh lemon juice, and a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes. Process for 3-5 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. You may need to pause occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula to ensure even blending. Once smooth, remove the spread from the food processor and set it aside.
-
Heat the canola or olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic, dried basil, dried oregano, and dried rosemary to the hot oil. Stir for about one minute, allowing the herbs to become fragrant. Then, add the sliced chicken strips to the pan, stirring well to coat them thoroughly in the seasoned oil and herbs. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-6 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and no longer pink. Remove the chicken from the heat and set it aside.
-
Take each Flatout Foldit flatbread and carefully slice it in half along its seam, creating two distinct rounds. Lightly mist a griddle pan or a large skillet with cooking spray, then place the Foldit rounds onto the pan. Mist the tops of the rounds with additional cooking spray and cook for approximately 2 minutes per side, or until the Foldits are warm, pliable, and lightly golden brown. *If you plan to serve only a portion of the tacos immediately, warm only the number of Foldits you intend to use.*
-
To assemble each delicious taco, start with a warm Foldit round. Spread about 2 teaspoons of the prepared Feta-yogurt spread down the center of the flatbread. Layer a few small pieces of torn lettuce over the spread. Next, add 1 ounce of the cooked Mediterranean chicken. Finish by topping the chicken with a teaspoon of diced cucumbers, half a chopped Kalamata olive, and half a chopped cherry tomato. Serve immediately and enjoy!
