For the Pitas

- ½ cup tzatziki
- 2 cups lettuce chopped, curly
- 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbled
- 1/4 cup kalamata olives sliced
Instructions
To Prepare the Mediterranean Ground Chicken
- In a large skillet, cook the ground chicken, with the onion and greek seasoning over medium-high heat. Use the spatula or spoon to break apart the meat as it cooks. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until it is no longer pink.
- Drain any excess liquid then stir in the lemon juice and fresh parsley. Set aside
To Prepare the Cucumber Tomato Salad
- Combine the tomatoes, diced cucumber, red onion and parsley in a medium bowl. Pour the olive oil and vinegar over the salad and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
To Assemble the Pitas
- Cut the pita bread rounds in half.
- Smear tzatziki in each one, then pile the Mediterranean ground chicken, followed by the shredded lettuce and cucmber salad.
- Finish with feta cheese and kalamata olives. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
Notes
- I prefer to use the pita bread you can cut in half and open to make a pocket. I like to stuff each half of the bread. You can also cut a bit off of the top and stuff the whole pita round.
- Alternatively, you can buy the fluffier pita bread that doesn't separate, and make this taco style.
