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
- 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
- In a bowl, mix the thinly sliced chicken breast with olive oil, salt, pepper, and the shawarma spice blend. Let it marinate for 15 minutes.
- Prepare the garlic sauce by whisking together the Greek yogurt, finely minced garlic cloves, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and sear for 6-8 minutes until cooked through and slightly charred on the edges.
- Warm the Arabic flatbreads or tortillas slightly in a dry pan.
- Assemble the wrap by spreading a generous layer of the garlic sauce on the bread, then adding the grilled chicken shawarma, sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onions.
- Roll the flatbread tightly into a wrap, slice it in half if desired, and serve immediately alongside extra garlic sauce.
