Easy Greek Chicken Soft Tacos are made in only a half hour and combine the flavors of Mexican tacos and Greek cuisine into one tasty, healthy, recipe!I love these Greek Chicken Soft Tacos. The best memories of my dad growing up were when he made our family his special Sunday sauce and meatballs.  Nobody made it quite like him and he passed the tradition on to me.

Years before he passed away I asked him to teach me his recipe because I had tried it before just by memory and it tasted nothing like this (isn’t that how it always goes?).

I went over his house to watch him make the sauce and he was just throwing things in left and right.  I kept asking him to slow down so I could try to write down ingredient amounts, etc.  He never measured ANYTHING which is to be expected with a true Italian, right?  One thing I remember him telling me is that he always used Tuttorosso tomatoes (although he totally butchered the pronunciation).  One time he just said “the stuff with the green label”!

Greek Chicken Soft Tacos are made with ground chicken for an easy, low carb, healthy 30 minute dinner recipe!

This is why I’m so excited about being asked to partner with Tuttorosso recently because it’s a brand I have been using for quite some time now and I know it’s one my dad really liked!  They are made by Red Gold Tomatoes, a company of Indiana.

I always use their products in Italian dishes but I wanted to switch it up this time.  I decided on going with a healthy Greek recipe!  My husband and I are going away on vacation very soon and are trying to eat lighter and more white meat.

These tacos could not be much better for you!  I even used whole wheat, low carb tortillas.  Whenever we are going on vacation we try hard to cut out fatty cheese, cream, and butter – this recipe doesn’t have any of those things!  Plus, February is Heart Health Month so there is another reason to eat healthy this month.

The ground chicken works really well in place of beef as the Tuttorosso red sauce and chicken stock give it great flavor.  The toppings, including my homemade Tzatziki sauce, for these Greek Chicken Soft Tacos make this dinner anything but boring!

Tuttorosso tomatoes are grown on family-owned and family-run farms and also packed here in the U.S..  I discovered that there is a significant difference in taste, freshness and quality between Tuttorosso and different brands of canned tomatoes/sauce (even the color is more vibrant).  I know you all probably feel the same way I do about using quality ingredients to give your recipes the best possible taste.

I hope you try them soon.  Enjoy!
