It’s still surprising to me when my weekday dinner instagram photos get much more love than the other (more carefully) composed shots. You know the kind of photos you probably shouldn’t be uploading that are all grainy and muddy looking from your lack of decent kitchen lighting. Yup, those photos. The kind of photos I’m half tempted to delete after revisiting the morning after…and most times do.
Real talk, people.
These BBQ Steak kebab wraps were no exception. The brilliant yet effortless assembly of left over BBQ goodness into one tasty little wrap caught the attention of many and its recipe was demanded. So simple and so delicious, there are no secrets here! Therefore I extend this dinner/lunch wonderment to you in three steps, dear friends:
(1) Fire up the grill.
(2) Skewer up some steak, chicken and/or veg (I like zucchini and onions) that have been rubbed with some Marrakesh spices – or heck even some BBQ sauce.
(3) Assemble into a whole wheat flat bread with some lettuce, tomato and tzatziki…BOOM!
Move over burrito, mealtime just got Greek inspired.
Since this is really not complicated or time consuming, may I suggest whipping up some homemade Tzatziki?! It takes all of 5 minutes and makes for some mean pita dipping. Let’s do it!
Recipe: No Guilt (aka: non fat) Tzatziki
Ingredients
- 1 sm container of non-fat greek yogurt
- 1/3 juice of of large lemon
- 1/3 tsp cumin
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/2 tsp dill
- 1 TBS finely chopped mint
- 1 cup chopped cucumber
Speaking of inspiration – I love me some Greek key patterns and a table top sporting a few bougainvillea clippings. Grab one of these fancy skewers, fire up your grill (yes I need that pink retro BBQ madness in my life) and throw yourself a kebab party. Opa!

I love the style you bring to food, Kristen! It’s a feast for the eyes! I’m looking forward to trying your Tzatziki recipe. I spent a summer in Greece and coming back to the states I learned that a good Tzatziki is hard to find!
