Chicken Gyros Smashed Tacos
Recipe
All the flavours of the classic Greek staple but in smashed taco form. Crispy chicken mince-topped tortillas with a zesty tomato salad and cooling tzatziki, packed with punchy flavour.
Cook time: 35 mins | Serves: 4
Ingredients:
- 400g Chicken Mince
- 2 Garlic Cloves
- 1 Lemon
- 1½ tsp Dried Oregano
- 12 Small Flour Tortillas
- 300g Vine Tomatoes
- 100g Kalamata Olives
- ½ Red Onion
- 20g Fresh Parsley
To Serve
- 350g Tzatziki
- 250g Frozen French Fries
- 1 Lemon
- Olive Oil
- Salt
- Black Pepper
Method:
- Preheat the oven or air fryer according to the French fry packet instructions.
- Add the chicken mince to a bowl and season generously with salt and pepper. Finely grate in the garlic and half the lemon zest, then stir through the oregano.
- Portion the mince onto the tortillas and spread it from edge to edge, then set aside.
- Chop the tomatoes into 2-3cm chunks, mince the olives, thinly slice the red onion and pick the parsley leaves, thinly slicing any soft stems. Add the onion to a bowl with the lemon juice, season with salt and set aside to pickle.
- Set a frying pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, add the tortillas mince-side down and cook for 3-4 mins, or until cooked through. Flip, transfer to a plate and cover, then continue until all the tortillas are cooked.
- Meanwhile, cook the fries according to the packet instructions.
- Once ready, share the tacos between plates. Toss the olives, tomatoes, parsley stems and three-quarters of the leaves together, then season with more salt and pepper, if needed.
- Top the tacos with a dollop of tzatziki, some fries and the tomato salad, then cut the remaining lemon into wedges and serve alongside.
