Cheese shawarma recipe

Ingredients:

For the Marinade:

• 500g boneless chicken, thinly sliced
• 1 cup plain yogurt
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon ground coriander
• 1 tablespoon ground paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

For Assembling:

• Pita bread or flatbreads
• Sliced tomatoes
• Sliced cucumbers
• Chopped lettuce
• Grated cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
• Tahini sauce or garlic sauce (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, mix together all the marinade ingredients – yogurt, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and olive oil.
2. Add the sliced chicken to the marinade, making sure each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate for at least 1-2 hours, or overnight in the refrigerator for better flavor.
3. Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken slices until fully cooked and slightly charred on the edges. Set aside.
4. Warm the pita bread or flatbreads in the oven or on a hot griddle.
5. To assemble the cheese shawarma, place a generous amount of the cooked chicken on the center of the warmed bread. Top with sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, and chopped lettuce.
6. Sprinkle grated cheese over the top of the shawarma.
7. If desired, drizzle with tahini sauce or garlic sauce.
8. Roll the shawarma tightly, enclosing the fillings in the bread.
9. Optional: You can heat the assembled shawarma in a pan or oven for a few minutes to melt the cheese.
10. Serve your homemade cheese shawarma warm and enjoy!
