Instructions

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper until well combined. Add the chicken and coat well. Cover and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the Tzatziki Sauce: Combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Mix until smooth and refrigerate.
3. Cook the Chicken: Preheat the grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Let rest before slicing.
4. Warm the Tortillas: Warm the tortillas in a skillet over low heat for about 1-2 minutes on each side.
5. Assemble the Tacos: Slice the chicken and place on each tortilla. Top with diced tomatoes, lettuce, red onion, feta, and kalamata olives. Drizzle with tzatziki sauce.
6. Serve: Enjoy immediately, garnished with extra tzatziki on the side.
