Warm the wraps: Follow the package instructions to warm the whole-wheat wraps. This makes them more pliable and ready to roll.
Assemble the wraps: Lay out each wrap and start layering with sliced chicken, red onion, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, fresh mint leaves, and crumbled feta cheese.
Add tzatziki sauce: Drizzle generously with the homemade tzatziki sauce, adding a creamy, tangy finish to each wrap.
Roll and serve: Roll up the wraps tightly, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately for a fresh and delicious meal.
Helpful Tips
Tip 1: Marinate in Advance – For an even deeper flavor, marinate the chicken in the olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper mixture for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
Tip 2: Chill the Tzatziki – Let the tzatziki sauce chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and enhances the overall taste.
Tip 3: Grate the Cucumber Properly – After grating the cucumber for the tzatziki, make sure to squeeze out excess water using a clean cloth or paper towel to avoid a watery sauce.
