Instructions
Slice chicken into thin strips. Add yogurt, lemon or lime juice, olive oil, garlic, and all spices. Mix until fully coated and marinate if desired.
Heat a heavy skillet on high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through.
Add yogurt, mayonnaise, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper to a blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
Warm tortillas or pitas. Add chicken to the center, then top with pickles or turnips, sliced onion, tomato, and parsley. Drizzle with sauce.
Roll tightly. Brush lightly with oil and toast on a skillet for a crisp wrap if desired.
Notes
Use Mission Tortillas, Joseph’s Pita Bread, or Angelic Bakehouse Wraps for soft bread options.
For a cheesy wrap, add Tillamook Farmstyle Fine Cut Mexican Blend Shredded Cheese inside before rolling.
For low carb, use low carbohydrate tortillas or large lettuce leaves.
If chicken releases too much liquid during cooking, increase heat to help it brown.
Store chicken, sauce, vegetables, and bread separately to keep everything fresh.
