chicken

🥗Healthier: turkey

💰Cheaper: pork

Turkey is leaner, while pork is often less expensive.

tahini

🥗Healthier: hummus

💰Cheaper: peanut butter

Hummus provides a similar creamy texture with fewer calories.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point and is still healthy.

yogurt

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: sour cream

Greek yogurt is thicker and adds protein.

Marinate chicken by adding spices, lemon juice, orange juice, orange zest, salt, red pepper flakes, sweet paprika, coriander, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, black pepper, crushed garlic, ginger, white pepper, cinnamon, and freshly grated nutmeg into a mixing bowl.

Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly.

Transfer the marinated chicken to the fridge and let it marinate for at least 1 hour or several hours for better flavor absorption.

Preheat a cast iron griddle and brush it with oil.

Add the marinated chicken strips to the hot griddle and cook until they have a beautiful color and are cooked through.

Chop and seed one tomato, then add it to the cooked chicken on the griddle along with some chopped parsley.

Prepare the flat bread and spread garlic spread in the middle of it.

Add pickled onions (red onions soaked in white distilled vinegar) and sumac on top of the garlic spread.

Add pieces of cucumber pickled the Egyptian way and a few strips of the cooked shawarma.

Wrap the flat bread tightly around the filling.
