- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons Tahini

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, ground turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Add the plant-based chicken strips into the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
In the meantime, prepare the tahini sauce by mixing plain Greek yogurt and tahini in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the marinated plant-based chicken strips and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and heated through. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Warm the flatbreads on a separate pan or directly over a low flame for a few seconds on each side.
To assemble the shawarma rolls, place a large lettuce leaf on each flatbread.
Spread a generous amount of tahini sauce over the lettuce. Then, top with cucumber, tomato, red onion slices, and a portion of cooked plant-based chicken strips.
Sprinkle red chili flakes over the filling for an extra kick, if desired.
Roll the flatbread tightly around the filling to form a roll. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Vegetarian Chicken Shawarma Roll!
