Ingredients
Method
Marinate the Chicken
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, and black pepper until well combined. This mixture will infuse the chicken with Mediterranean flavors.
- Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
Grill the Chicken
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F). This ensures a good sear on the chicken.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard any leftover marinade. Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken moist.
Assemble the Tacos
- Slice the grilled chicken into thin strips. This makes it easier to fit into the tortillas and allows for more even distribution of toppings.
- Warm the tortillas on the grill for about 30 seconds on each side, or until pliable.
- To assemble, place a few strips of chicken in the center of each tortilla. Top with chopped romaine lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, sliced red onion, and a drizzle of tzatziki sauce.
- Garnish with fresh parsley for added flavor and color.

Notes
These tacos can be customized with your favorite toppings such as avocado, olives, or hot sauce. For a vegetarian option, substitute the chicken with grilled vegetables like zucchini and bell peppers.
