1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

For the Wrap:

Pita bread or flatbreads

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade:

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.

Add the thinly sliced chicken to the bowl and toss to coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.

2. Cook the Chicken:

Preheat your grill or a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Cook the marinated chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and slightly charred. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.

3. Prepare the Sauces:

For the yogurt sauce, mix Greek yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl until well combined.

For the spicy sauce, mix mayonnaise, hot sauce, paprika, and garlic powder in a separate bowl.

4. Assemble the Shawarma Wraps:

Warm the pita bread or flatbreads in a skillet or microwave.

Spread a generous amount of yogurt sauce and spicy sauce on the bread.

Layer the sliced chicken, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, shredded lettuce, and chopped parsley.

Drizzle more of the sauces on top if desired.

Roll up the pita bread tightly to form a wrap. If needed, secure with a toothpick.

5. Serve:

Serve the spicy shawarma wraps immediately while warm, with extra sauce on the side for dipping.
