These Greek Crispy Chicken Tacos are what happen when taco night goes on a Mediterranean vacation, and they’ve quickly become a household obsession. Crunchy, golden tortillas stuffed with juicy rotisserie chicken, melted mozzarella, tangy feta, and topped with a fresh Greek-style salad and a swipe of creamy tzatziki. They hit every texture craving
It started as a lazy “what’s in the fridge” situation and turned into a full-blown favorite. Frying the tortillas gives you those irresistible crispy-cheese edges (you know the ones), and the whole thing comes together faster than you can say “Tuesday night dinner.”
Perfect for busy weeknights, game nights, or low-key hosting where everyone builds their own. If you want other easy and weeknight friendly ideas, then be sure to check out my 15 easy chicken recipes!
