Instructions
- Mix the sliced chicken thighs with salt, black pepper, cumin, coriander, paprika, onion powder, turmeric, sugar, tomato paste, and olive oil in a large bowl. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, ideally overnight.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and lightly charred, about 8–12 minutes depending on thickness.
- Whisk together mayonnaise, yogurt, grated garlic, lemon juice, and parsley until smooth in another bowl. Adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Mix the sliced red onion with sumac, lemon juice, and parsley in a separate bowl. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes to soften.
- Warm lavash or flatbread, then spread garlic sauce and harissa if desired. Add lettuce, cooked chicken, sumac onions, pickles, tomatoes, and fries.
- Roll it up like a burrito or fold like a gyro, and enjoy warm!
Notes
Marinate the chicken longer for better flavor. Use fresh ingredients for a crisp wrap.
