Method

1

Cook your French fries in an airfryer or on a baking tray in your oven. As soon as they are finished make sure to generously toss them in some salt.

2

While the fries are baking, grab a large mixing bowl. Add the ground chicken, egg, lemon zest, panko breadcrumbs, salt and pepper, oregano and mix thoroughly

3

Divide your chicken mixture evenly among your tortillas. Spread the meat out into a very thin, flat layer, making sure to leave about a small gap around the edges so it doesn't spill over when cooking.

4

Place a large skillet over medium heat and drizzle in about 1½ teaspoons of vegetable oil. Place two of the tortillas into the pan, meat-side down. Press down firmly with a spatula to smash the chicken layer against the hot pan. Let them cook undisturbed for 2 to 3 minutes until the chicken is deeply browned and cooked through.

5

Carefully flip the tacos over and let the tortilla side toast in the pan for another minute or two until crispy. Move them to a serving plate and repeat this process with the rest of your tortillas and oil.

6

Now for the fun part—assemble your tacos! Add a handful of the crispy fries to each one, followed by the chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onion. Add a good dollop of tzatziki over the top, finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley, and dig in!
