Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cups (237 ml) plain whole milk yogurt
- 1 cups (237 ml) cucumber, peeled and chopped into small bits
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tbsp cider vinegar
- 1/4 tsp salt, or to taste
- 1 1/2 tbsp coconut oil or grapeseed oil
- 2 chicken breasts, cut into strips
- 1 lemon zest
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of cayenne pepper
- Butter leaf lettuce
- Tzatziki sauce
- 1 to 2 avocados
- Thinly sliced red onion
Instructions
- Chop cucumber and place in a colander. Sprinkle with salt, toss, and let drain in the sink for 30 minutes.
- Place all sauce ingredients in a bowl and stir well.
- Serve sauce on gyros, pitas, wraps, or salads.
- Heat oil to medium-high in a cast iron skillet.
- Add chicken and sauté, stirring frequently, for 1-2 minutes.
- Add lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and cayenne pepper; stir well. Cook until chicken is cooked through but tender, about 3-4 minutes more.
- Wash and pat dry butter lettuce leaves.
- Add sliced red onion, avocado, chicken, and desired amount of Tzatziki sauce to the lettuce. Wrap and serve.
Notes
- For a richer tzatziki, use Greek yogurt instead of plain whole milk yogurt.
- To speed up the process, use pre-shredded red onion instead of slicing your own.
- If you don’t have butter lettuce, romaine hearts or large spinach leaves are excellent substitutes.
