Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (approximately 1 lbs) chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons oregano (dried)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large (sliced) red onion
- 2 medium (sliced; one red, one yellow) bell peppers
- 1 cup tzatziki sauce
- 0.5 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 0.25 cup (sliced) pitted Kalamata olives
- 1 cup (halved) cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley
- 6 medium-sized flour tortillas
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over the chicken. Ensure the chicken is evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor).
Preheat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Set the chicken aside to rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.
In the same skillet, add sliced red onion and bell peppers. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave, then assemble the fajitas: layer sliced chicken, sautéed vegetables, tzatziki sauce, crumbled feta, sliced Kalamata olives, cherry tomatoes, and a sprinkle of chopped parsley onto each tortilla.
Roll up the tortillas and serve immediately. Enjoy the vibrant flavors of Greece wrapped in a fajita!
