Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut the chicken into thin strips.

- Season with oregano, salt, and pepper, then cook until golden and cooked through.
- Grate the cucumber and squeeze out excess liquid.
- Mix it with the yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.
- Warm the tortillas briefly so they stay flexible.
- Spread the yogurt sauce across each wrap.
- Add the chicken and lettuce, then roll everything up loosely.
What Makes Them Better (Small Details)

- Warm tortillas → easier to roll, less breaking
- Don’t overload → wraps stay neat and easier to eat
Ingredient Swaps (Very Flexible)
