Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Boneless chicken thighs (or lamb/beef)
- 60 ml Olive oil
- 100 grams Greek yogurt
- 30 ml Lemon juice
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Large tortillas or flatbreads
- 1 large Tomato, thinly sliced
- 1 small Cucumber, thinly sliced

Instructions
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight for best flavor.
Preheat the grill or griddle to medium-high heat.
Remove chicken from the marinade and grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and slightly charred. If using lamb or beef, adjust cooking time accordingly.
Once cooked, transfer the meat to a cutting board and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.
Warm the tortillas or flatbreads on the grill for a minute on each side until soft and pliable.
To assemble the durum kebab, lay a tortilla or flatbread on a plate. Add a layer of sliced chicken, followed by tomato, cucumber, onion, and lettuce.
Drizzle tahini sauce and chili sauce over the top.
Fold the sides of the flatbread over the filling and roll into a tight wrap.
Slice in half if desired and serve immediately. Repeat with the remaining wraps.
