A flavorful gourmet wrap. Tender, spiced grilled chicken shawarma rolled in a perfectly toasted tortilla, packed with crisp cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions, and smothered in a rich, herbed garlic yogurt sauce.

Ingredients for Chicken Shawarma Wrap

• 250g chicken breast, thinly sliced
• 2 large flour tortillas or Arabic flatbreads
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt & 2 cloves garlic (for garlic sauce)
• 1 small cucumber & 1 tomato, sliced
• 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 tbsp shawarma spice blend (cumin, paprika, cardamom)

Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions

1. Toss the sliced chicken with olive oil, salt, pepper, and the shawarma spice blend. Marinate for 10-15 minutes.
2. In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with minced garlic, a squeeze of lemon juice, and finely chopped fresh parsley or dill to create the garlic sauce.
3. Heat a grill pan over high heat and sear the seasoned chicken for 5-6 minutes until beautifully cooked through and slightly charred around the edges.
4. Warm the tortillas in a clean pan for 30 seconds on each side.
5. Assemble the wraps by spreading a generous amount of the garlic yogurt sauce over the tortilla, then layer the grilled chicken, cucumber slices, tomatoes, and red onions.
6. Roll the tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides. Place the wrap back onto the hot grill pan for 1 minute to get those beautiful grill marks and extra crispiness before serving.
