Method
Chicken Shawarma
Combine chicken breast, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, coriander, garlic powder, turmeric, onion powder, oregano, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper in a bowl; mix well and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Heat a hot skillet over medium‑high heat and cook the marinated chicken until browned, juicy, and slightly charred around the edges, about 6‑8 minutes; set aside.
Seasoned Yellow Rice
Rinse the jasmine rice, then combine it with chicken broth and chicken bouillon in a saucepan; bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12‑15 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Creamy Garlic Sauce
In a bowl whisk together Greek yogurt, light mayo, finely grated garlic, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper; add 1‑2 tbsp water as needed to reach a smooth, dip‑ready consistency.
Burrito Assembly
Lay each tortilla flat, then layer shredded mozzarella, diced Roma tomatoes, pickled onions, fresh parsley, a portion of the chicken shawarma, seasoned rice, and a drizzle of the creamy garlic sauce.
Fold the tortillas tightly to form burritos, then divide the mixture evenly among the six tortillas.
Serve the burritos with extra creamy garlic sauce on the side for dipping.
Tips while you cook
- Marinate before cooking
- Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes before skillet cooking.
- Use a covered pan for rice
- Cover the saucepan while simmering the rice to retain steam and ensure even cooking.
- Adjust sauce consistency
- Add 1‑2 tbsp water to the creamy garlic sauce only until it reaches a smooth, dip‑ready texture.
- Layer ingredients evenly
- Distribute chicken, rice, vegetables, and sauce uniformly across each tortilla before folding.
