Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp shawarma spice blend (cumin, paprika, garlic powder, turmeric)
- 4 soft pita breads
- 1 cup chopped lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup diced cucumbers
- ½ cup sliced red onions
- ½ cup tahini sauce (tahini paste, lemon juice, garlic, water)
- ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine chicken thighs with olive oil and shawarma spice blend. Mix until evenly coated.
- Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight for enhanced flavor.
- Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- While chicken cooks, prepare fresh vegetables and whisk together tahini sauce ingredients until smooth.
- Slice cooked chicken into strips. Take a warm pita and layer lettuce on the bottom to prevent sogginess. Add sliced chicken, veggies, and drizzle with tahini sauce.
- Fold pita sides inward and roll tightly to form a wrap. Serve immediately with extra sauce for dipping.
