Wrap Ingredients

Method

Cooking and Assembling

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, turmeric, coriander, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs and coat them well. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Preheat a grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and slightly charred. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Wrap

    Lay out the pita bread or flatbreads. Place a generous amount of chopped lettuce, diced tomato, and cucumber on each bread. Top with sliced chicken and drizzle with tahini or garlic sauce.

  4. 4

    Wrap and Serve

    Fold the sides of the bread over the filling and roll it tightly. Slice in half if desired and serve immediately.
