Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 small flour or corn tortillas
- 1 cup diced cucumbers
- 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Optional: Sliced olives, Tzatziki sauce, Hummus
Instructions
- Begin by marinating the chicken. In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss the chicken thighs in this mixture until they’re well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken thighs. Cook for about 6-7 minutes per side or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- While the chicken is cooking, prepare your toppings. Dice the cucumbers, halve the cherry tomatoes, and slice the red onion.
- Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
- Heat the tortillas briefly on the grill or in a skillet until warm and pliable.
- Assemble your tacos by placing a generous portion of the sliced chicken on each tortilla. Top with cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, red onions, and a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese. Drizzle lemon juice over the top and add any optional toppings you prefer.
Notes
If you’re looking for a vegetarian option, replace chicken with grilled halloumi or roasted chickpeas.
