Salt and pepper to taste 🧂
For the Tzatziki Sauce:

👨🍳 Instructions:
Marinate the chicken in olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for max flavor).

Warm the pita bread slightly, then layer with chicken, fresh veggies, and a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce. Wrap it up and enjoy!
💡 Tips & Variations:
Add crumbled feta cheese for extra creaminess.
Use store-bought tzatziki for a quick version.
Great for meal prep—just keep components separate until serving!
