Chicken Shawarma Ingredients

2 lbs Ground chicken
4 Garlic cloves
1 Bell pepper
1/2 Yellow onion
1 Juice from 1/2 lemon
1/4 cup Parsley
1/4 cup Plain greek yogurt
2 tbsp Chicken shawarma seasoning
1 tsp Salt
6 Large flour burrito tortillas

Garlic Sauce Ingredients

4 Garlic cloves
1 Juice from 1/2 lemon
1/2 cup Mayo
1/2 cup Sour cream
1 tbsp Apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp Olive oil
1 tsp Salt and pepper

Instructions

To a large mixing bowl add the ground chicken, diced bell pepper, shredded onion, grated garlic, parsley and seasonings. Add greek yogurt and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Mix it well and set to the side.
Stack the burrito tortillas and cut off round sides shaping it into a square.
Add a handful of the chicken mixture to the first tortilla and spread it thinly across the entire surface. Top if with a new tortilla and repeat the process until you run out of tortillas.
Cut the stacked tortillas into 4 equal pieces.
Flip each section over with the meat side facing up and the tortilla side facings sideways.
Insert skewers carefully through each rectangle to secure the layers. Slice between the skewers.
Place the kebabs in the freezer for 30 minutes for the chicken to firm up before hitting the grill.
Preheat the grill to medium heat and set for direct heat. Place the kebabs directly on the grates and cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning every 1-2 minutes.
Remove once the beef reaches 160-165 degrees Fahrenheit. Let them rest for 10 minutes.
While the skewers rest, make the garlic sauce. Add all the ingredients to a blender and mix until smooth.
Drizzle the tangy garlic sauce of the Chicken Shawarma Tortilla Kebabs and enjoy!

Notes

How to make the recipe with leaner ingredients:

Use any protein. Ground turkey or a equal blend of chicken and pork
Replace a regular tortilla for a gluten free option or a low carb. alternative
Replace sour cream with greek yogurt

For evenly spaced rows, cut down the middle first and then each half down the middle again.

Use metal skewers to avoid the ends from catching fire.

Rotating the kebab frequently prevents the tortillas from burning.

To store leftovers, place them in a container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
