Ingredients for the Shoarma Wraps

For the Shoarma (approx. 4 people):

1. 500 grams chicken thigh fillet or pork slices (like pork neck or shoulder chop), cut into strips
2. 2 tablespoons olive oil
3. 1 tablespoon TastyChef WRAP STAR (Shoarma Seasoning)
4. Pinch of salt (optional, the mix is already flavorful)

For the Wraps and Toppings:

1. 4-6 whole wheat wraps or pita breads
2. 1 head of iceberg lettuce, finely chopped
3. 1 red onion, thinly sliced
4. 2 tomatoes, diced
5. 1 cucumber, diced or julienned
6. Optional: white cabbage salad, pickles, feta

For the Garlic Sauce (homemade):

1. 150 grams low-fat quark or Greek yogurt
2. 1 clove garlic, minced
3. Dash of lemon juice
4. Fresh parsley, finely chopped
5. Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation of the Shoarma Wraps

1. Marinate the meat: Place the chicken or pork strips in a bowl. Add the olive oil and the WRAP STAR (Shoarma Seasoning). Mix everything well so that all strips are coated with the spices. Let this marinate for at least 15 minutes, or longer in the refrigerator for more flavor.
2. Prepare the garlic sauce: In a small bowl, mix the quark or yogurt with the minced garlic, lemon juice, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside in the refrigerator.
3. Cook the shoarma: Heat a dash of oil in a frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated meat strips in batches until cooked through and golden brown. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan, otherwise the meat will steam instead of fry.
4. Warm the wraps: Briefly warm the wraps in a dry frying pan, oven, or microwave according to the package instructions.
5. Assemble the wraps: Spread a generous layer of lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and red onion on each wrap. Then, spoon the cooked shoarma on top. Finish with a large dollop of the homemade garlic sauce.
6. Roll up and enjoy: Fold the wrap closed and enjoy your homemade shoarma wrap immediately!

Tips for the Best Shoarma Wraps

• Meat Quality: Choose tender meat like chicken thigh or pork shoulder for the juiciest result.
• Marinating Time: The longer you marinate the meat, the more intense the flavor.
• Vegetable Variety: Add your favorite vegetables. Grilled bell peppers, mushrooms, or some crumbled feta also add a delicious twist.
• Spiciness: Like it spicy? Add some chili flakes to the shoarma spice mix or to the garlic sauce.

TastyChef Combinations

Besides the fantastic WRAP STAR (Shoarma Seasoning), there are other TastyChef flavors that perfectly complement this dish or variations of it:

• THE FIXER (All-Round Seasoning Mix): Ideal if you want to add a more subtle, general spice flavor to your vegetables or salad.
• ZEST FRIEND (Lemon and Garlic Seasoning Mix): Delicious in the garlic sauce for an extra fresh kick, or over the vegetables.

Nutritional Highlights

These wraps are a source of protein thanks to the meat. By choosing whole wheat wraps and adding plenty of fresh vegetables, you also get fiber and vitamins. The homemade garlic sauce based on quark or yogurt is a lighter alternative to traditional sauces.
