This is really popular in our house. Not only is the chicken extremely tasty when prepared this way; it’s also super fun for the kids to assemble their own wraps. I use baked kohlrabi fries as a lighter alternative to the classic potato fries that are often stuffed into laffas. When you combine the spicy chicken, tangy Israeli salad, rich hummus, and spicy and sweet kohlrabi together in that laffa, the flavors explode in your mouth for a truly satisfying dinner!
