04 - Heat flatbreads in a dry skillet or warm oven for 1 to 2 minutes until soft and pliable.
05 - Spread a generous layer of tzatziki sauce over each warm flatbread. Layer with baby spinach or arugula, sliced grilled chicken, cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices, red onion, Kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese.
