Instructions
1. Cook the Chicken
Mix chicken with olive oil, oregano, paprika, garlic powder, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Grill or pan-sear over medium heat for 5–6 minutes per side, until cooked through. Let rest, then slice.
2. Make the Mediterranean Ranch Sauce
In a bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, dill, parsley, salt, and pepper.
Adjust seasoning to taste and chill until ready to use.
3. Assemble the Burritos
Warm tortillas slightly to make them pliable.
In each tortilla, layer:
Sliced grilled chicken
Avocado
Lettuce or spinach
Tomatoes
Feta cheese
Olives and red onion (if using)
Drizzle of Mediterranean ranch sauce
4. Wrap and Serve
Fold in the sides and roll tightly into a burrito.
Serve immediately or grill in a pan for 2–3 minutes per side to seal and crisp.
Notes & Tips
Make it low-carb: Use low-carb tortillas or serve as a bowl instead of a wrap.
Add grains: Add cooked quinoa or couscous for extra Mediterranean texture.
Meal prep: Wrap tightly and store in the fridge for up to 2 days. Serve cold or reheat in a pan.
