Ingredients

• 500 g Chicken cutlet ( sliced into strips )
• 4 piece Soft tortilla (for filling), made from corn ( lightly warmed )
• 200 g Plain Greek yogurt ( as a sauce base )
• 1 piece Cucumber ( seeded and finely diced )
• 2 piece Round tomato ( cut into wedges )
• 1 piece Red onion ( thinly sliced )
• 1 piece Citrus limon (L.) Burm. f. ( juiced )
• 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tbsp Oregano
• 1 piece Garlic ( minced )
• 1 pinch Gray sea salt
• 1 pinch Black pepper ground
• 100 g Feta cheese ( crumbled )

Instructions

1. Marinate the chicken

   In a bowl, mix the chicken strips with olive oil, lemon juice, and oregano. Let it rest so the meat absorbs the flavor.

2. Prepare the white sauce

   Mix the yogurt with the minced garlic and some finely chopped cucumber. The sauce should be thick and coat the back of a spoon.

3. Prepare the vegetables

   Cut the tomatoes into wedges and slice the red onion. The crunch of fresh vegetables is essential to balance the richness of the chicken.

4. Sear the meat

   Heat a pan over high heat. Toss the chicken in. It should sizzle and brown quickly to stay juicy inside. The skin should be golden and crispy.

5. Assemble the tortillas

   Lightly warm the tortillas. Spread a base of sauce, place the hot chicken, the vegetables, and the crumbled feta. Roll tightly so everything stays together.

Chef's tips

• Squeeze the diced cucumber to remove excess water so the sauce stays thick.
• The chicken must be seared in a very hot pan: if it releases water, it will boil instead of grilling.
• Warm the tortillas in a dry pan for a few seconds to make them pliable before rolling.

Storage

Store components separately in the fridge. Only assemble just before serving to maintain texture and crunch.
