2 tbsp lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp dried oregano
½ tsp paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
Marinate the Chicken
In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Add chicken and toss to coat. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Roast the Vegetables
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Toss zucchini, bell pepper, and onion with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 15–20 minutes, until tender and slightly caramelized.
Cook the Chicken
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Cook chicken for 4–6 minutes per side until fully cooked and lightly browned. Slice into strips.
Assemble the Wraps
Warm tortillas slightly to make them pliable.
Spread tzatziki sauce down the center of each tortilla.
Layer with roasted vegetables, chicken strips, and crumbled feta.
Garnish with fresh parsley.
Wrap & Serve
Fold in the sides and roll up tightly. Serve immediately, or wrap in parchment for a portable meal.
Tips & Variations
Chicken Options: Use boneless, skinless thighs for juicier meat or pre-cooked rotisserie chicken for a shortcut.
Vegetable Variations: Add bell peppers of other colors, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, or eggplant for more variety.
Wrap Alternatives: Use whole wheat tortillas, lavash, pita, or even a large lettuce leaf for a low-carb option.
Cheese Choices: Feta is classic, but halloumi or goat cheese can be a tasty alternative.
Sauce Variations: Substitute tzatziki with hummus, garlic yogurt sauce, or a drizzle of lemon-olive oil vinaigrette.
Meal Prep Friendly: Keep the chicken, roasted vegetables, and tortillas separate. Assemble wraps just before eating to prevent sogginess.
Add Crunch: Include thinly sliced cucumbers or radishes for extra crunch.
Extra Flavor: Sprinkle with smoked paprika, sumac, or za’atar for a Mediterranean twist.
Q&A
Q: Can I make these wraps ahead of time?
A: Yes. Prepare the chicken and roasted vegetables in advance and store separately. Assemble the wraps just before eating to prevent the tortillas from getting soggy.
Q: Can I use frozen chicken?
A: Yes. Thaw completely and pat dry before marinating and cooking to ensure even cooking.
Q: Can I make this vegetarian?
A: Replace chicken with grilled halloumi, roasted chickpeas, or a mix of beans and vegetables for a vegetarian-friendly wrap.
Q: Can I freeze these wraps?
A: It’s best to freeze the components (chicken and vegetables) separately. Assemble the wrap fresh when ready to eat, as tortillas can become soggy when frozen.
Q: Can I add more veggies or greens?
A: Absolutely. Spinach, arugula, shredded lettuce, or thinly sliced cucumbers work well.
