Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Protein

    In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, ground cinnamon, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well to create a marinade.

  2. 2

    Add Protein

    Cut the chicken breast or beef sirloin into thin strips and add to the marinade. Toss until the meat is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Cook the Protein

    Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken or beef to the pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked through and nicely browned. Ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 75°C (165°F) for chicken or 70°C (160°F) for beef.

Serving

  1. 4

    Prepare the Wrap

    Warm the pita bread or flatbreads slightly in a pan or microwave. Place a portion of the cooked chicken or beef in the center of each bread.

  2. 5

    Add Fresh Ingredients

    Top with fresh vegetables like cucumber, tomatoes, and lettuce. Drizzle with tahini sauce or yogurt sauce to add flavor.

  3. 6

    Wrap and Serve

    Fold the bread over the filling to create a wrap. Serve immediately while warm.
