Ingredients

• 400 grams Plant-based chicken strips
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground turmeric, paprika, ground cinnamon, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to create a marinade.

Step 2

Add the plant-based chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes, if possible, to enhance flavor.

Step 3

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and cook the marinated plant-based chicken strips for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with a pinch of salt and a dash of lemon juice for the sauce.

Step 5

Warm the pita breads briefly in a pan or microwave.

Step 6

To assemble the wrap, spread a generous spoonful of the yogurt sauce on each warm pita.

Step 7

Place the cooked vegetarian chicken strips on top, followed by slices of cucumber, tomato, and red onion.

Step 8

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Step 9

Roll the pita around the fillings to form a wrap and serve immediately.
