To begin our culinary journey, we'll need to assemble all the necessary ingredients. For this delectable chicken kebab wrap, you'll need:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon of ground coriander
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large tortilla wraps
- 1 cup of shredded lettuce

- 1/2 cup of thinly sliced red onions
- 1/4 cup of diced cucumbers
- 1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro
Your favorite hot sauce or yogurt-based dressing for added flavor
Marinating the Chicken
Marination is the key to infusing the chicken with incredible flavors. In a bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, ground coriander, salt, and pepper. Add the thinly sliced chicken breasts to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together perfectly.
Preparing the Chicken
After marinating, it's time to cook the chicken to tender perfection. You can grill the chicken on a barbecue, cook it on a stovetop grill pan, or even use a regular skillet. Cook the chicken on medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes per side or until it's fully cooked and slightly charred, giving it that delightful smoky flavor.
Assembling the Chicken Kebab Wrap
Now comes the exciting part - putting it all together! Take one large tortilla wrap and place a generous portion of the cooked chicken in the center. Top it with shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, red onions, diced cucumbers, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. For an extra kick, drizzle your favorite hot sauce or a tangy yogurt-based dressing over the fillings.
Wrapping it Up
To create a neat and presentable wrap, follow these simple steps:
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, towards the center of the fillings.
Starting from the bottom, tightly roll the tortilla upward, ensuring all the fillings are enclosed securely.
Slice the wrap diagonally in the middle for an elegant presentation.
Serving and Enjoying
Your delightful chicken kebab wrap is ready to be served. Whether you're enjoying it as a quick lunch on-the-go or a satisfying dinner with friends and family, this flavorful creation will undoubtedly impress.
