Ingredients
  

For the chicken:

  • 3 boneless chicken breasts thin sliced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp allspice
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp tumeric
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 lemon juiced
  • salt and pepper

For the wrap bread:

  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 3 tbsp butter, crisco or veg oil
  • 1 tsp sugar

For the sauce:

  • 1/2 cup mayo
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 2 garlic cloves chopped
  • salt, pepper and sriracha to taste

To serve:

  • cooked french fries
  • sliced Israeli pickles

Instructions
 

For the chicken:

  • Combine all of the marinade ingredients in a bowl and add the sliced chicken. Mix well and refrigerate overnight.
  • Heat a few tbsp of oil in a skillet until smoking hot. Add the chicken and allow to cook on one side until well browned. Stir and allow to cook on another side until browned. Continue cooking until chicken is cooked through and nicely browned. Reduce heat if needed to prevent burning.

For the sauce:

  • Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and allow to mix in the fridge while you prepare the rest of the meal.

For the bread:

  • Add the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and butter into a bowl.
  • Mix with your fingers until it is crumbly. Add the liquid and work the dough on a floured counter top for 8-10 minutes until smooth. You can also use a mixer for this.
  • Set aside in a greased bowl covered with plastic wrap for 30 minutes.
  • Cut the dough into 6 pieces and shape into balls. Leave them to rest, covered for 10 minutes.
  • Roll each ball on a floured counter until it is a thin circle about 8 inches around. Do these one at a time as you cook them.
  • Heat a dry frying pan over medium heat. Place one of the circles in the pan and cook for about a minute. Bubbles will form and the dough will get brown spots, but not black. If it is burning, turn the heat down. Flip over and cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute until bubbled and cooked through.
  • Place on a plate and cover with a clean towel while you cook the rest.

To serve:

  • Spread some sauce on the wrap, add some chicken, pickles and fries and wrap up, tucking in the ends like a burrito. Cut in half and serve with some salad.
