3 medium tomatoes – your fave!
½ English cucumber (or 2 mini English cukes)

½ lemon, juiced
Salt and pepper

Chicken:
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

8 oz container crumbled Feta Cheese
Flour tortillas for soft tacos (you can substitute crunchy corn taco shells, if preferred)
- Slice the chicken breasts into thin slices, set aside.
- Slice the onion into ¼ inch slices, set aside.

Put it all together:
-
Assemble the tacos:

- Serves 4-6.
- Enjoy!
NOTES:
- If you prefer dark meat, you can substitute in boneless, skinless chicken thighs.
- If you are unable to find Greek Yogurt, you can use regular plain yogurt, but it won’t taste the same!
- If you prefer a spicier salsa – go ahead and add the seeds from the jalapeno.
