How to Make Mediterranean Ground Chicken Wraps

Prepare the Feta Cream

In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, feta cheese, honey, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes.

Mix until smooth and creamy.

Set aside while preparing the chicken.

Cook the Ground Chicken

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the ground chicken, oregano, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Cook for 8–10 minutes, breaking the chicken apart as it cooks, until browned and fully cooked through.

Warm the Tortillas

Warm the tortillas according to package directions or briefly heat them in a dry skillet until soft and pliable.

Assemble the Wraps

Spread a generous layer of the Spicy Lemon Honey Feta Cream onto each tortilla.

Top with the cooked ground chicken, romaine lettuce, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and additional feta cheese.

Wrap and Serve

Fold the sides inward and roll tightly to form a wrap.

Slice in half if desired.

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
