Instructions
Marinate the chicken
Combine chicken strips with all spices, olive oil, garlic, tomato paste, Greek yogurt, and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly.
Cook the chicken
Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook undisturbed for 3 minutes, then stir and cook for 6-7 more minutes until golden and cooked through.
Prepare the onions
Combine sliced red onion, olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, salt, pepper, and sumac. Toss well and set aside.
Make garlic sauce
Mix Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Make red sauce glaze
Whisk together olive oil, tomato paste, pomegranate molasses (if using), and paprika.
Prepare the fries
Cook frozen french fries according to package instructions or your preferred method.
Assemble the wraps
Spread garlic sauce on each pita. Top with chicken, french fries, diced tomatoes, and onions. Wrap tightly.
Crisp the wraps
Melt butter in a pan over low heat. Place wraps seam-side down, brush tops with red sauce. Cook until golden, flip, brush other side, and repeat.
