These Greek Tacos are a delicious easy dinner, the same flavors of a Greek gyro without the work. They’re flavorful Greek chicken tacos, loaded with delicious toppings like tomatoes, feta, cucumbers, and more.
These Greek chicken tacos have similar flavors to a Greek Gyro, but without the extra time thanks to using deliciously seasoned ground chicken, topped with your favorite Greek taco toppings.
They can be made up in less than 30 minutes and are a perfect dinner option for those nights when you’re in a hurry, but don’t want to just eat frozen food, and still want something healthy, filling and delicious.
The tacos are so good, served up with your choice of toppings, just like any taco night. Put out the toppings and let everyone create their own delicious tacos. My favorite toppings that I think you can’t miss, are the tzatziki sauce, crunchy cucumbers, and feta – but build whatever creations you want, and enjoy!
