Flavorful Chicken Shawarma Wraps
These Chicken Shawarma Wraps are bursting with flavor. Marinated in a blend of spices, the chicken is grilled to perfection, creating a savory, aromatic filling that pairs beautifully with fresh vegetables and creamy sauces.
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons shawarma spice mix
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 large pita breads or flatbreads
- 1 cup lettuce, chopped
- 1 tomato, diced
- 1 cucumber, sliced
- 1/2 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup tahini sauce or garlic sauce
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, shawarma spice mix, salt, and pepper. Add chicken thighs and coat well. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for best results.
- Cook the Chicken: Preheat the grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay a pita bread flat and add a generous amount of chopped lettuce, diced tomato, sliced cucumber, and red onion. Place sliced chicken on top, drizzle with tahini sauce, and garnish with fresh parsley.
- Wrap and Serve: Fold the pita over the filling, securing it tightly. Serve immediately with extra sauce on the side for dipping.
