Instructions

Creating Chicken Shawarma Grilled Wraps is easy if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, mix together the minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cayenne pepper, yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for best flavor.
3. Preheat Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat.
4. Grill Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill it for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
5. Rest the Chicken: Remove from heat and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
6. Prepare Wraps: Warm the pita or flatbreads on the grill for about 1 minute on each side to make them pliable.
7. Assemble the Wraps: Lay the grilled chicken strips onto the warm flatbread. Top with cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, and red onion.
8. Add Sauce: Drizzle tahini sauce or garlic sauce over the fillings.
9. Wrap It Up: Fold the sides of the flatbread over the filling, then roll it up from the bottom to enclose everything.
10. Serve: Serve immediately with additional sauce on the side if desired.

Following these steps will ensure that your Chicken Shawarma Grilled Wraps are flavorful and rewarding!
