Chicken Shawarma Wrap Recipes

Steps:

• For the shawarma: Whisk together the oil, cumin, paprika, turmeric, allspice, chili powder, cinnamon, garlic, lemon zest and juice and 2 teaspoons salt in a container until combined. Add the chicken, cover and marinate, refrigerated, for 12 to 14 hours.
• For the tomato-cucumber relish: Mix together the oil, vinegar, tomatoes, cucumbers, lemon juice, onion, parsley and some salt and pepper in a bowl.
• For the tahini sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the tahini, oil, lemon juice and 1/4 cup water. Season with salt.
• Prepare a grill for medium heat and oil the grill grates.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade, sprinkle with salt and place on the hot grill. Grill skin-side down until the skin starts to brown and crisp, 4 to 6 minutes. Flip and grill the other side for another 4 to 6 minutes. Flip again and grill until the skin is super crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, about 5 minutes more. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice into 1/4-inch pieces.
• For the wrap build: First, spread tahini sauce on the tortillas, then top with shredded romaine, then the relish, then the chopped chicken. Add some pickled peppers, roll up tight and eat!

Steps:

• At least 2 hours ahead, or up to 8 hours ahead, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, cumin, coriander, pepper flakes, turmeric, salt, pepper, and cinnamon in a bowl. Stir ingredients well and add chicken pieces. Cover and refrigerate. Stir chicken pieces and marinade about every 2 hours.
• About 30 minutes prior to grilling, make the raita by mixing yogurt, cucumber, onion, cilantro, cumin, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to make the wraps.
• Preheat an outdoor gas grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Place chicken pieces in a single layer onto the oiled grate, and grill until no longer pink in the center, the juices run clear, and both sides are brown, 6 to 8 minutes per side. Timing will depend on the thickness of the chicken thighs and the distance of the grates to the heat. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• Place grilled chicken on a cutting board and cover with aluminum foil. Allow chicken to rest 5 to 10 minutes, then cut into thin slices.
• To assemble the wraps, divide ingredients evenly: Place chicken slices in the center of each naan bread. Top with shredded lettuce, onion rings, and tomato slices; spoon raita on top.
• Wrap each naan around the sandwich ingredients, and serve.
