Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 4 pita breads
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup pickled turnips (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

Preparation Steps
- Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken strips and mix until coated.
- Grill the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Let rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.
- Meanwhile, toast the pita breads by wrapping them in foil and heating in the oven at 350°F (180°C) for 5 minutes.
- Assemble the wraps by spreading tahini sauce on each pita, followed by sliced chicken, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, pickled turnips (if using), chopped parsley, and crumbled feta cheese.
