- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Ground coriander
- 1 tsp Ground paprika

- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil

Instructions
In a large bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, ground paprika, ground turmeric, ground cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
Add chicken breast to the marinade, ensuring it's well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour, or overnight for best results.
To make the low-carb wraps, whisk together almond flour, eggs, and water in a bowl until batter is smooth.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat, lightly grease it with a bit of olive oil, and pour in a ladle of batter to form a small, thin pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and firm. Repeat to make 4 wraps.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
Place marinated chicken on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 25-30 minutes until cooked through, turning halfway. Let it rest before slicing thinly.
To assemble the shawarma rolls, lay a lettuce leaf on each wrap, layer with sliced chicken, cherry tomatoes, fresh mint leaves, and drizzle with tahini sauce.
Roll up tightly, secure with a toothpick if necessary, and serve immediately.
