Ingredients:

For the Chicken:

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for a little heat)
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the Wraps:

• 4-6 pita breads or flatbreads
• Shredded lettuce
• Diced tomatoes
• Sliced red onion
• Tzatziki sauce or garlic sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, combine the chicken thighs, olive oil, cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, garlic powder, cayenne pepper (if using), and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Toss everything together until the chicken is evenly coated with the spice mixture.
2. Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken thighs and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until they're cooked through and nicely charred on the outside.
3. Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing or shredding it into bite-sized pieces.
4. While the chicken is resting, warm up your pita breads or flatbreads according to package instructions.
5. To assemble the wraps, lay a pita or flatbread on a flat surface and add a generous portion of shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sliced red onion.
6. Top the veggies with a scoop of the shawarma-spiced chicken.
7. Drizzle your desired amount of tzatziki sauce or garlic sauce over the top.
8. Wrap everything up tightly and enjoy this Middle Eastern delight!
