Schwarma… It’s whats for dinner!

Schwarma-1

Schwarma! A funny name for a  Savory wrap made by Middle Eastern street vendors. I found this recipe several years ago and after adding my own all-American touch to this dish(Ranch dressing ;), it became a smashing dinner hit! Super quick and simple. Choose between chicken, steak, or Lamb depending on which is preferred! I choose to make my own flatbread but if you want to speed up the dinner prep, grab a package of premade flatbread at your local grocery story!

  • 1 1/2 lb cooked Chicken, steak, or Lamb seasoned to taste! (I use lots of garlic, rosemary, paprika, salt, & pepper!)
  • 8 (6-inch) Flat/pita breads, warmed
  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 onion, thinly diced
  • 1 large tomato, diced
  • 1 cucumber, thinly diced
  • Ranch!!

Directions

To assemble the schwarma, Thinly shave/slice meat, spread each flat bread with a tablespoon of plain yogurt, and layer with onion, tomato, and cucumber. Pile on the meat, and dress with Ranch dressing. Repeat with remaining flat bread and ENJOY!!

      You really should give this recipe a try! Everyone here loves them! 🙂 🙂 I will paste my flat bread recipe below. It’s super fun to make!

      Flat Bread:

      2 3/4 cups white flour(You can use a little wheat if you like!)
      1 tbs baking powder
      1 tsp salt
      1 cup boiling water
      1/3 cup Extra virgin olive oil

      Directions

      Combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Add water and oil. Stir until combined.
      Kneed on a lightly floured surface for approximately 1 minute adding additional flour if needed.
      Place a stainless steel pain on stove-top over medium heat. Meanwhile, cut into 10-12 pieces and gently roll each into a ball.
      Place a stainless steel pain on stove-top over medium heat. Roll out each ball into disk shapes with about 1/4 inch thinkness.
      Place each flat bread on to the hot pan, 1 at a time, for approximately 30 seconds per side or until bubble and golden. Repeat with remaining dough! 🙂

      Oh my!! I didn’t see this comment come in. 🙂 Okay, I have been making it so long I don’t really have a recipe. I just “eye” everything. Let me see if I can get the measurements down:
      1 cup mayonnaise
      2 TBS Apple Cider Vinegar(I use a bit more as I really likes the flavor)
      3TBS milk(may need more to make nice dressing consistency)
      1/2 tsp garlic powder
      1/2 tsp onion powder
      1/2 tsp dill weed
      1/4 tsp salt
      1/4 tsp pepper

      I usually put all ingredients into a jar and shake well! 🙂
