1
Prepare the Filling
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the cooked shredded chicken, sumac, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
2
Assemble the Bourekas
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). On a clean surface, lay out one sheet of phyllo pastry and brush lightly with olive oil. Place another sheet on top and repeat. Cut the layered pastry into rectangles. Place a spoonful of the chicken filling at one end of each rectangle and fold over to create a triangle. Seal the edges by pressing down with a fork.
3
Bake the Bourekas
Arrange the bourekas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with olive oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
