Preparation

Step 1

1
Spray 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray. Add all Chicken ingredients to slow cooker; stir. Cover; cook on Low heat setting 6 to 8 hours or on High heat setting 4 to 6 hours.

2
Meanwhile, make Tzatziki. Pour any liquid off the surface of the Greek yogurt. In medium bowl, stir together all Tzatziki ingredients except oil. Drizzle 1 tablespoon oil over top. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Remove cooked chicken from slow cooker, and shred with 2 forks. Divide chicken among tortillas. Top each with Tzatziki, red onion, grape tomatoes and feta cheese.

Expert Tips:
I find it best to use full fat Greek yogurt for this, but 2% works as well. You want the yogurt to be thick, so if your Greek yogurt seems thin, strain it through a fine mesh strainer.
