Ingredients
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, sliced into thin strips
¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
6 cloves garlic, finely minced
2 tbsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground turmeric
1 tsp ground coriander
½ tsp cayenne pepper
½ tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
½ tsp freshly cracked black pepper
6 large soft flour tortillas or shawarma wraps (10-inch)
2 cups shredded romaine lettuce
1 large ripe tomato, diced
1 medium English cucumber, thinly sliced
½ cup red onion, finely chopped
For Tahini Drizzle: ¼ cup tahini paste, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 clove minced garlic, 3 tbsp chilled water, pinch of sea salt
Instructions
Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, cumin, turmeric, coriander, cayenne, cinnamon, salt, and pepper in a bowl until emulsified.
Add chicken strips and toss to coat. Let marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook 3-4 minutes per side until golden and juices run clear.
Meanwhile, prepare tahini drizzle by whisking ingredients until smooth.
Warm tortillas and layer with romaine, tomato, cucumber, red onion, and cooked chicken.
Drizzle with tahini sauce and wrap tightly.
Notes
Marinate chicken no more than 15 minutes to avoid over-tenderizing.
Use a silicone whisk for the tahini drizzle to avoid lumps.
Wrap extras in parchment paper for easy storage.
