Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams vegetarian chicken strips
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 pieces pita bread
- 1 large cucumber
- 2 medium tomato
- 4 large lettuce leaves
- 0.5 large red onion
- 4 tablespoons tahini
- 2 small garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the ingredients. Thinly slice the red onion, cucumber, and tomatoes. Wash and pat dry the lettuce leaves.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the vegetarian chicken strips to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until they are browned and warmed through. Stir occasionally. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat.
In a small bowl, prepare the garlic tahini sauce. Mince the garlic cloves, then mix the minced garlic with the tahini, lemon juice, water, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy.
Warm the pita bread in a dry skillet or directly over a gas flame for about 30 seconds on each side to make them pliable.
To assemble the wraps, spread each pita bread with a generous spoonful of the tahini sauce.
Layer with a lettuce leaf, a portion of the cooked vegetarian chicken strips, sliced cucumber, tomato, and red onion.
Drizzle more tahini sauce over the top, if desired.
Fold the pita wrap by bringing the sides together, forming a semi-circle, or roll it tightly.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh Vegetarian Chicken Pita Wrap!
