Lazy Kebab Rolls

These lazy kebab rolls are a creative twist on traditional kebabs, made by pressing seasoned ground chicken onto tortillas, rolling, slicing into pinwheels, and skewering before baking until golden. They're juicy on the inside, slightly crispy on the edges, and finished with hot honey and a creamy dill pickle tzatziki for the perfect balance of flavors.

Serves: 6

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground chicken
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp hot honey
  • 6 tortillas
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • about 3 dill pickles
  • 3 tbsp fresh dill
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of kosher salt. Mix until evenly combined.
  3. Divide the chicken mixture evenly between the tortillas, about 1/6 of the mixture per tortilla.
  4. Press the chicken mixture into a thin, even layer across each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
  5. Roll each tortilla into a tight log, starting from one edge. Place the rolled tortillas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, seam-side down.
  6. Cut the rolled tortillas into 1-1.5 inch rounds, creating pinwheels. You should see spiral layers.
  7. Thread the pinwheels onto skewers, going through the center so the spiral faces outward. This keeps them secure and helps them cook evenly.
  8. Bake the kebabs in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are fully cooked.
  9. While the kebabs are baking, prepare the tzatziki sauce. Shred the dill pickles in a bowl and press the moisture out with paper towels.
  10. In the same bowl, mix together the shredded pickles, Greek yogurt, finely chopped fresh dill, minced garlic, lemon juice, and 0.5 teaspoon of kosher salt. Taste and adjust the salt or lemon juice as needed. Chill the sauce in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
  11. Once the kebabs are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
  12. Drizzle the kebabs with hot honey and sprinkle with a little extra salt. Serve warm with the chilled tzatziki sauce for dipping.
