Ingredients
- 2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 c thick yogurt, or Greek yogurt
- 1 bell pepper
- 4 flat bread, (or sprouted tortillas)
- 1 lemon
- 2 c cooked chicken
- 1 tbsp. harissa spice, plus more to taste
For the harissa spice:
- 4 tsp. whole coriander seeds
- 5 tsp. cumin seeds
- 1 1/2 tsp. caraway seeds
- 4 tsp. smoked paprika
- 2 tsp. coarse sea salt
- 2 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper, more if you prefer heat
Instructions
- For the harissa spice: Over low heat in a cast iron skillet, place coriander, cumin and caraway seeds and dry roast for about 3-5 minutes taking care not to burn. Place seeds in a mortar and pestle or clean coffee grinder and grind into powder.
- In a small jar, place paprika, sea salt, garlic powder, cayenne, and the ground seeds. Cover with the lid and shake to blend. Store in a cool dry place until ready to use.
- Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add harissa seasoning, and sauté for a minute to release the flavors.
- Add the shredded chicken and cook for 2-3 minutes to warm through. Adjust seasoning to your preference.
- Turn off heat. Juice the lemon and add it to the seasoned chicken.
- To warm the flatbread, in a hot pan over medium heat, add tortillas individually and cook them for about 30 seconds on each side, until they are soft and pliable. Place them in a bowl lined and cover with a clean kitchen towel until you’re ready to serve.
- Finely slice bell pepper. Spoon some chicken onto the center of each wrap. Top with bell pepper and thick yogurt. Fold and serve immediately.
