Steps

1. 1

   Place the cubed chicken in a bowl. Add the garlic paste, coriander powder, cumin powder, red chili flakes, red chili powder, black pepper, lemon juice, tomato paste, and salt to taste. Mix until the chicken is well coated, then set aside.

2. 2

   Heat a large non-stick skillet with 2 tbsp oil over medium-high heat.

3. 3

   Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and cook for 15–20 minutes, until fully tender.

4. 4

   Make the yogurt sauce by adding the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, cumin, a squeeze of lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste to a bowl. Mix well and set aside.

5. 5

   Make the spicy sauce by adding the mayonnaise, chopped jalapeños, Sambal oelek sauce, minced garlic, salt to taste, black pepper, and lemon juice to a bowl. Mix until combined and set aside. If desired, use another chili sauce with 1/2 tbsp red chili flakes instead of Sambal oelek.

6. 6

   To assemble one wrap, place a tortilla on a work surface and smear it with yogurt sauce.

7. 7

   Top the tortilla with sliced tomatoes, sliced onion, cooked chicken shawarma, jalapeños, French fries, cheese if using, and spicy sauce.

8. 8

   Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling.

9. 9

   Heat a grill pan. Place the rolled wrap in the pan and cook on both sides for about 1 minute per side, until light grill marks appear. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Notes

The source does not specify an amount for the lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cheese, jalapeños, or French fries. It also does not specify a marinating duration; the chicken is mixed and set aside before cooking.
