Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, and salt and pepper. Mix well to form the marinade.
Add the chicken thighs to the marinade and coat them thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the tahini sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, water, lemon juice, and salt until smooth. Adjust consistency by adding more water if necessary.
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated chicken thighs for about 7-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and slightly charred.
Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the grilled chicken into strips.
Warm the pita breads on a grill or in a dry skillet until soft and pliable.
To assemble the sandwiches, open each pita bread and layer with lettuce leaves, sliced tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and grilled chicken strips.
Drizzle the assembled sandwich with tahini sauce before serving.
Serve immediately, allowing everyone to enjoy their own customizable Dairy-Free Kebab Sandwich.
