• 1 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
• 150 grams Cherry tomatoes, halved

• 4 pieces Pita bread
• 3 tablespoons Tahini
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (for tahini sauce)
• 1 clove Garlic, minced

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, ground turmeric, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.

Step 2

Add the plant-based chicken strips to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly in the spice mix.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add the spiced plant-based chicken strips.

Step 4

Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the strips are heated through and slightly crispy on the edges.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, water, lemon juice, minced garlic, and salt until smooth. Adjust the water to reach your desired consistency.

Step 6

Warm the pita bread in a dry pan or in the oven for a few minutes to make them more pliable.

Step 7

Assemble the wraps by spreading a spoonful of tahini sauce over each pita bread.

Step 8

Divide the cooked plant-based chicken, red onion slices, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber slices among the pitas.

Step 9

Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the toppings.

Step 10

Fold the pita bread to enclose the fillings, wrap it tightly, and serve with extra tahini sauce on the side if desired.
