Ingredients

• 250 grams Plant-based chicken strips
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 3 tablespoons Tahini
• 1 medium Cucumber, thinly sliced
• 1 medium Tomato, thinly sliced
• 0.5 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
• 4 large Lettuce leaves
• 4 large Flatbreads
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, ground turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.

Step 2

Add the plant-based chicken strips into the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.

Step 3

In the meantime, prepare the tahini sauce by mixing plain Greek yogurt and tahini in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the marinated plant-based chicken strips and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and heated through. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Step 5

Warm the flatbreads on a separate pan or directly over a low flame for a few seconds on each side.

Step 6

To assemble the shawarma rolls, place a large lettuce leaf on each flatbread.

Step 7

Spread a generous amount of tahini sauce over the lettuce. Then, top with cucumber, tomato, red onion slices, and a portion of cooked plant-based chicken strips.

Step 8

Sprinkle red chili flakes over the filling for an extra kick, if desired.

Step 9

Roll the flatbread tightly around the filling to form a roll. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Vegetarian Chicken Shawarma Roll!
