Start by preheating the oven to 250 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
Combine the yogurt, lemon juice, and dill in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed. Set aside.
Add the chicken (or turkey), garlic powder, and chopped dill to a mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Lay our 6 tortillas on the counter and evenly divide the mixture between each tortilla. Press down and spread the meat almost all the way to the sides. The meat should be a thin layer. I like to wear rubber gloves when doing this, but you can use your bare hands or perhaps the bottom of a glass if you don’t want to touch the raw meat.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add one tortilla with the meat facing down. Use a spatula to press down on the tortilla to make sure the meat is flattened. It’s OK if it sticks out the sides slightly. Cook for 5-6 minutes, the meat should be cooked through because it’s so thin. Flip and cook on the other side for 1-2 minutes to crisp the tortilla. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm while you cook the rest of the “tacos”. Repeat this step until all 6 tacos are cooked.
When ready to assemble, top each with shredded lettuce, chopped tomato, chopped red bell pepper, sliced onion, sliced olives, and crumbled feta. Drizzle the yogurt sauce over the top.
Serve immediately and enjoy! To eat, simply fold in half like a taco.
