Ingredients

• Chicken breast - 300 grams
• Yogurt - 100 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ground cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Ground coriander - 1 teaspoon
• Ground paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Ground turmeric - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Pita bread - 2 pieces
• Lettuce - 1 cup, shredded
• Tomato - 1 medium, diced
• Cucumber - 1 small, diced
• Red onion - 1/4, thinly sliced
• Tahini - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine yogurt, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Cut the chicken breast into thin strips and add to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the marinated chicken. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
4. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the sauce by mixing tahini and lemon juice in a small bowl. Add water to achieve a smooth consistency if needed.
5. Warm the pita bread in a separate skillet or microwave for about 30 seconds.
6. To assemble the wraps, place a generous amount of the cooked chicken on each pita, followed by lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and red onion.
7. Drizzle the tahini sauce over the top, then wrap the pita tightly around the filling.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy your Chicken Shawarma Wrap!
