Prepare the Protein
If using chicken, grill or sauté the chicken breast until fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes per side. For ground lamb, sauté in a skillet over medium heat until browned, about 5-7 minutes. For falafel, you can either fry or bake according to package instructions.

Prepare Vegetables
Dice the tomato and chop the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces. If you haven't done so already, prepare the pickled red onion by soaking thin slices of red onion in vinegar for at least 30 minutes.

Drizzle the olive oil over the cut potatoes and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Spread the fries in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until crispy and golden.
