This recipe was found on Tablespoon.com (see link below). I love a good gyro, and this is a Middle Eastern version of one. Yummy! I serve this with fresh fruit. Makes 8 wraps; I halved this recipe when I made it because there's only 3 of us.

You'll Need:
- 2 c. yogurt (I use Greek yogurt)
- 1/2 c. tahini
- 4 lemons
- 1 Tblsp. Madras curry powder (I just use the regular curry powder in my pantry)
- 1 Tblsp. chile flakes
- 2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 English cucumber
- 5 tomatoes
- 1/4 red onion
- 1 Tblsp. vinegar
- Lavosh bread (If you can't get this, you can use tortilla wraps)
- parsley
Preparation:- Make marinade: Mix 1 1/2 cups yogurt with chile flakes, curry powder, juice of 1 lemon, zest of one lemon, salt and pepper. Poke chicken with a fork to help marinade fully flavor the chicken. Mix the chicken in to the marinade and let sit at least an hour, up to 12 hours.
- Make shawarma sauce: Mix juice of 3 lemons, tahini, and 1/2 cup of the yogurt. Mix in some chopped parsley.
- Grill chicken: Cook on a grill at medium heat until charred and fully cooked.
- Make salad: Chop tomatoes, slice onions, chop cucumbers, season with salt and vinegar.
- Build wraps: Fill with chicken, sauce, and salad. Grill for a few minutes on each side.
