Instructions

In a bowl, combine shawarma seasoning, olive oil, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Add chicken and coat evenly. Marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor).
Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the marinated chicken for 6–8 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Let rest for a few minutes, then slice into thin strips.
Prepare the shawarma sauce by mixing Greek yogurt, tahini, and lemon juice until smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of garlic powder if desired.
Lay a crepe on a plate. Add lettuce, cucumber, tomato, and sliced chicken in the center. Drizzle with shawarma sauce.
Fold or roll the crepe like a wrap. Optional: lightly toast in a skillet for a crispy finish.
Serve warm with extra sauce on the side.

Notes

For a vegetarian option, replace chicken with grilled vegetables or falafel.

For a spicy twist, mix chili flakes or hot sauce into the shawarma sauce.

To make gluten-free, use gluten-free crepes or tortillas.

Marinate the chicken longer for deeper flavor.

Best served fresh but can be reheated in a skillet or oven.
