Pesto Chicken Tzatziki Salad Wraps. Street food-inspired oven-roasted chicken wrapped up in tortillas with all the โextrasโ. Lettuce, lots of peperoncini, avocado, and plenty of feta. Add basil pesto, delicious creamy tzatziki sauce, and garlic tahini too. A Greek-inspired wrap thatโs SO GOOD. Serve the wraps warm with homemade fries and plenty of extra tzatziki sauce.
Happy March everyone! Per usual we’ve still got some very snowy March weather. Right now it’s a little hard to envision that spring will officially arrive later this month. But at least we can all add a little bit of spring into our daily eats with recipes like these Chicken Tzatziki wraps.
And you all? These are so good – trust me.
As I’ve mentioned, all the snow has left me craving more color, fresher recipes, and springtime dinners. I think after a weekend in Miami, I am especially ready for nice weather and warm sunny days!
Creighton has been asking for more Greek-inspired dishes. Or dishes with middle eastern flavors.
I’m sure many of you remember my Chicken Tzatziki bowls from last year. And then also my pesto chicken wraps from this summer? Well, I combined the two recipes and turned them into one very yummy, saucy, flavorful chicken wrap.
Creighton officially claimed these to be his favorite recipe of the month. Everything from the crispy roasted chicken, to the feta, avocado, salt, basil pesto, and creamy Tzatziki are all just delicious.
SO MUCH FLAVOR, we adore these wraps.
It all starts with the chicken. We love this chicken marinade. It’s inspired by the seasonings often used to cook gyro meat, so it has a lot of flavor.
Itโs seasoned with yogurt, lots of garlic, smoked paprika, and oregano. Super flavorful. If you have extra time you can begin marinating the chicken a few hours before cooking or you can start cooking right away.
I love to use chicken thighs for this, but breasts are great too. Once the chicken is cooked and crispy, thinly slice it up so that it can fit nicely into each wrap.
While the chicken is roasting I like to make a quick homemade tzatziki sauce. But store-bought easily works as well! I make mine with plain full-fat Greek yogurt (I use Straus Organics), grated cucumber, garlic, lemon, olive oil, and salt.
It’s one of the simplest sauces to make at home, but at the same time, Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s have really great store-bought options. So do what works for you time-wise!
During this same time, I toss together lettuce with cubes of avocado, peperoncini, dill, and feta cheese.
And because we love sauce, a garlic tahini sauce too. But this is totally optional and very extra.
Now all that’s left is to assemble each wrap. I used my homemade flour tortillas, then layered on some basil pesto, the salad, roasted chicken, and tzatziki sauce.
Then, wrap and roll burrito style.
I used warm chicken and warm tortillas fresh off the skillet, so I didnโt feel the need to warm my wraps. But if you like, you can cook them in a skillet with a little olive oil until warm. Or even wrap them up in foil and pop them in the oven. I do love these warm, but that’s me. I love hot food. You can definitely enjoy the wraps chilled as well, up to you!

In the recipe it doesnโt call out what to do with the Greek yogurt sauce- it took me a minute to figure out I was supposed to marinade the chicken in that!
Hi there,
Sorry for any confusion, but the greek yogurt is listed in step 1:) I hope you loved this recipe! xx
Could you freeze these wraps and reheat later?
Hi Gloria,
Sorry, I would not recommend that! I have a freezer friendly section on the blog that you might enjoy:
