• 60 ml Olive oil
• 100 grams Greek yogurt
• 30 ml Lemon juice

• 2 teaspoons Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.

Step 2

Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight for best flavor.

Step 3

Preheat the grill or griddle to medium-high heat.

Step 4

Remove chicken from the marinade and grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and slightly charred. If using lamb or beef, adjust cooking time accordingly.

Step 5

Once cooked, transfer the meat to a cutting board and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.

Step 6

Warm the tortillas or flatbreads on the grill for a minute on each side until soft and pliable.

Step 7

To assemble the durum kebab, lay a tortilla or flatbread on a plate. Add a layer of sliced chicken, followed by tomato, cucumber, onion, and lettuce.

Step 8

Drizzle tahini sauce and chili sauce over the top.

Step 9

Fold the sides of the flatbread over the filling and roll into a tight wrap.

Step 10

Slice in half if desired and serve immediately. Repeat with the remaining wraps.
