This is a Middle Eastern-inspired wrap that's perfect for lunch or light dinner. Chicken Tandoori is marinated in yogurt and tandoori paste, cooked until tender and juicy, and then wrapped in a flour tortilla with a smoky eggplant salad. The eggplant salad is made with smoked or roasted eggplant, tahini, garlic, yogurt, and parsley, making it a delicious and nutritious companion to the chicken. Overall, this wrap is packed with a mix of flavors and textures that create a unique, filling, and tasty meal. Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge and reheated when needed.

Instructions

3.Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken strips and cook for 7-8 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
4.Cut the eggplants, white onion, and tomato into small cubes. Finely chop the parsley and cut cucumber into thin slices. Mix together eggplants, onion, parsley, tahini paste, sour cream, yogurt, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl.
