Instructions
- Step 1 In a large bowl, mix chicken thighs, shawarma mix, lemon juice, garlic, sea salt and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Let it marinate for 3 hours (or overnight for more tenderness and flavor).
- Step 2 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Place marinated chicken onto a baking sheet lined with foil and bake until cooked through, about 35 minutes. Let it cool, and thinly slice into bite-sized pieces. Place back in oven for 5 additional minutes to crisp chicken and let spices and juices absorb.Note: sliced chicken can also be cooked on a grill pan on medium-high heat for 6-7 minutes on each side.
- Step 3 Warm the tortillas on the stove or toaster oven. To assemble, fill them with chicken, radishes, chopped red onion, jalapeños, red pepper, parsley and cilantro. Top with tahini sauce or your favorite hot sauce!
