What to Eat With Greek Chicken Meatball Wraps

When my kids ask me to make Greek Chicken Meatball Wraps, it always feels like a fresh and easy dinner for me. I like to add a few simple sides to go with them, like a small bowl of tzatziki for dipping.

I enjoy a cucumber, tomato, and red onion salad with a little olive oil and lemon, but my kids didn’t like to much veggies, so it’s time for some Mediterranean Baked Potatoes. Trust me, they go perfectly with the wraps.
