What ingredients do I need to make Chicken Tzatziki Salad Wraps?

To make Chicken Tzatziki Salad Wraps, you’ll need cooked chicken breast (grilled or roasted), fresh tzatziki sauce (made from Greek yogurt, cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, dill, and olive oil), mixed salad greens (like romaine or spinach), sliced tomatoes, red onion, and pita wraps or flatbreads. Optional additions include cucumber slices, feta cheese, and olives for extra flavor. Preparing the tzatziki sauce and chicken ahead saves time, making assembly quick and easy.

How can I make homemade tzatziki sauce for the wraps?

Homemade tzatziki sauce is simple to make by combining Greek yogurt (about 1 cup) with grated cucumber (squeeze out excess water), minced garlic (1-2 cloves), a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice, 1-2 tablespoons of chopped fresh dill, and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly and chill for at least 30 minutes before using to allow flavors to meld, resulting in a creamy, refreshing sauce perfect for chicken wraps.

What are some healthy variations for Chicken Tzatziki Salad Wraps?

For a healthier version, use whole wheat or whole grain wraps to increase fiber content. Swap regular chicken breast for organic or free-range options, or try grilling skinless turkey breast. Increase veggies by adding cucumbers, bell peppers, or shredded carrots. Opt for low-fat Greek yogurt in the tzatziki sauce to reduce calories. You can also serve the filling over a bed of greens instead of a wrap for a low-carb option.

How long can I store Chicken Tzatziki Salad Wraps in the fridge?

Chicken Tzatziki Salad Wraps are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 days. To prevent sogginess, store the components separately—keep the cooked chicken, tzatziki sauce, and salad greens in separate containers and assemble the wraps just before eating. This method maintains texture and freshness.

Can I prepare Chicken Tzatziki Salad Wraps in advance for meal prep?

Yes, you can prepare the chicken and tzatziki sauce up to 3 days ahead as part of meal prep. Store them separately in airtight containers. Keep the salad ingredients and wraps separate to avoid sogginess. When ready to eat, assemble the wraps quickly for a fresh, flavorful meal. This approach saves time during busy weekdays while keeping the wraps tasty and crisp.

– 1 Tbsp smoked paprika

– 1 Tbsp dried oregano

– ½–1 tsp chili flakes (to taste)

– ½ tsp kosher salt (adjust to taste)

– 5 cups chopped lettuce

– ½ cup basil pesto

– 1–2 cups tzatziki sauce, store-bought or homemade

– Lemon-garlic tahini sauce (optional garnish)

– 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded

– 1 cup Greek yogurt

– 1 cucumber, finely diced

– 2 cloves garlic, minced

– 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped

– 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

– 4 large whole wheat or gluten-free wraps

– 1 cup mixed salad greens

Instructions

First Step: Prepare the tzatziki sauce by combining Greek yogurt, minced garlic, diced cucumber, chopped dill, and lemon juice in a bowl. Mix well and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld. Customize the sauce by using dairy-free yogurt for vegan or low-fat options.

Second Step: Shred or slice the cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.

Third Step: Warm the wraps in a dry skillet or microwave for 20 seconds to enhance pliability, or opt for fresh lettuce leaves as low-carb wraps.

1- Marinate the chicken: In a bowl combine yogurt, olive oil, garlic, paprika, oregano, chili flakes, salt and pepper. Add the chicken, toss to coat, and let sit 15 min at room temperature or up to overnight in the refrigerator.

2- Bake: Pre-heat oven to 425 °F (220 °C). Spread chicken on a baking sheet and bake for 25 min, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 °F (74 °C). Switch to broil for 1-2 min to lightly char the edges.

3- Slice the cooked chicken thinly.

4- Prepare the salad: In a large bowl combine lettuce, avocado, peperoncini, dill and feta.

5- Warm tortillas: Microwave each tortilla for 20 seconds.

6- Assemble each wrap: Spread pesto over the tortilla, layer the lettuce mixture, add sliced chicken, drizzle with tzatziki (and optional tahini sauce), then fold the tortilla burrito-style.

7- Serve immediately at room temperature, or wrap in foil and warm briefly in the oven. Extra tzatziki on the side is optional.

Fourth Step: Lay the wrap on a flat surface, spread a generous layer of tzatziki sauce evenly. Add a handful of mixed salad greens on top for crunch and nutrition.

Fifth Step: Distribute the shredded chicken over the greens, ensuring even coverage for every bite. Sprinkle with additional fresh herbs if desired.

Sixth Step: Carefully roll the wrap tightly, tucking in the edges to prevent filling from spilling out.

Notes

⏱️ Marinate the chicken for at least 15 minutes; longer marination up to overnight deepens flavor.
🥑 Slice avocado just before assembling to keep it bright and prevent browning.
🌡️ Warm wraps briefly in the oven for a comforting texture, but they’re also tasty chilled for a quick grab‑and‑go meal.
