Description

A fresh and healthy twist on traditional tacos, packed with colorful vegetables and Mediterranean flavors.


Ingredients

Scale

1 lb chicken breast, diced

2 tbsp olive oil

3 garlic cloves, minced

2 tbsp lemon juice

1 tsp oregano

1 tsp paprika

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cucumber, diced

1 red onion, sliced

1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

8 taco shells (soft tortillas or crunchy corn)


Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, and paprika. Add diced chicken breast, stirring well to coat. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through.
  3. Chop the vegetables and combine them in a bowl, tossing gently to mix.
  4. On each taco shell, add a spoonful of chicken followed by a handful of mixed vegetables. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top.
  5. Serve warm or at room temperature, drizzling with extra lemon juice if desired.

Notes

For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken with tofu. Use whole wheat wraps for added fiber.
