Ingredients

Shortcut Shawarma

  • 8 large tortilla wraps

Filling Options

  • diced cucumbers

  • French fries

  • red cabbage salad

  • babaganoush

  • hummus

  • prepared tahini

Directions

1.

Mix together the ground chicken with shawarma spice. It should be evenly distributed.

2.

Take about a half cup of the chicken mixture and spread it thinly and evenly onto the tortilla. If you need more, you can add a little more of the mixture so the whole tortilla is coated. Continue with the rest. Stack them on top of each other and set aside.

3.

Preheat a frying pan with a bit of oil or oil spray. Place the tortilla into the pan, chicken side down. Cook on medium heat for about one to two minutes or until it no longer sticks to the pan. Then flip the tortilla over and allow to cook on the other side until slightly browned. Watch it, as it’ll cook quickly.

4.

Continue with the remaining tortillas. If the pan is non-stick, you won’t have to spray or oil the pan again between tortillas.

5.

Once done, place the tortilla into a large square of parchment paper. Add all the fillings you like to the middle of the tortilla.

6.

Fold in the bottom half, followed by both sides. Then wrap the parchment paper around the tortilla, being sure to twist the bottom part to securely close.

You can make the chicken mixture and then add it to anything gluten-free as the filling of a sandwich or taco, or if you have gluten-free tortillas, you can use those like the recipe.

Just made this and it was fabulous. Rena did it again! Literally took no time to get on the table and my kids gobbled it up. They asked to have chocolate milk to drink with it and were shocked when I told them it was fleishig. It’s because the chicken is almost like a spread and it adds great flavor but with other toppings you don’t really notice it as a protein. Thank you Rena for a great recipe! Looking forward to more like this 🙂
