Ingredients
- 300 grams vegetarian chicken strips
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 pieces pita bread
- 1 large cucumber
- 2 medium tomato
- 4 large lettuce leaves
- 0.5 large red onion
- 4 tablespoons tahini
- 2 small garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the ingredients. Thinly slice the red onion, cucumber, and tomatoes. Wash and pat dry the lettuce leaves.
Step 2
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Add the vegetarian chicken strips to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until they are browned and warmed through. Stir occasionally. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat.
Step 4
In a small bowl, prepare the garlic tahini sauce. Mince the garlic cloves, then mix the minced garlic with the tahini, lemon juice, water, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy.
Step 5
Warm the pita bread in a dry skillet or directly over a gas flame for about 30 seconds on each side to make them pliable.
Step 6
To assemble the wraps, spread each pita bread with a generous spoonful of the tahini sauce.
Step 7
Layer with a lettuce leaf, a portion of the cooked vegetarian chicken strips, sliced cucumber, tomato, and red onion.
Step 8
Drizzle more tahini sauce over the top, if desired.
Step 9
Fold the pita wrap by bringing the sides together, forming a semi-circle, or roll it tightly.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh Vegetarian Chicken Pita Wrap!
