  1. Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, combine chicken with salt, black pepper, red chili powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, coriander, turmeric, onion powder. Add lemon juice, Greek yogurt, red pepper paste, tomato paste, and oil. Mix well until the chicken is fully coated. Cover and marinate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.

  4. For Sumac Onions: Combine sliced onion, lemon juice, sumac, parsley, salt, and oil. Toss well and set aside.

  5. Heat oil in skillet over medium high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook in batches for about 8–10 minutes until fully cooked and slightly charred.

  6. Assemble the Shawarma: Take the pita wrap. Spread garlic sauce, add chicken, fries, sumac onions, fries and diced tomatoes. Roll the pita tightly into a wrap.
