Make

- Heat up a skillet or saute pan over medium heat. Add oil and then red onions to heated oil. Saute for ~2 minutes.
- Add chicken with cumin, paprika and oregano. Saute for another 2 minutes, just to warm chicken up.
- Add red wine vinegar and saute for another 30 seconds and remove from heat. Season to taste with some salt and pepper.

Easy enough but an overall meh meal. I'd do something else with the rotisserie chicken I think.
0 HelpfulFell in Love with this! We eat it quite often and especially on our meatless fast days. Yum!
0 HelpfulI liked that this was fairly quickly, but it was only so-so, by the relatively high standards of other Cook Smarts recipes!
0 HelpfulI wanted to love this, but was underwhelmed. I tried using brown rice tortillas to make it Gluten Free, but should have gone with a better flatbread option. I forgot the lemon squeeze, I think the chicken needed that, it was a bit dry. I preferred the Vietnamese salad over this one.
0 HelpfulVery flavorful. I cheated and bought tzatziki instead of making it, and the flatbread I bought was too thin and fell apart. Next time I'll find thicker one.
