Hello and Salam lovely people! I hope you all are staying safe and healthy. It feels like every year when Ramadan comes around, I get reminded of the good ol’ recipes we used to have back in my childhood.
A few days ago, I was talking to my bhabi when she mentioned making Mexican shawarmas and it got me craving these yummy sandwiches. So I made these toasted shawarmas last night – don’t let the bad picture fool you (it was one minute to iftar!) they were actually really really delicious, all three kids went to grab the last one
Back in Dubai we used to get ‘Mexican’ shawarmas – which are not really Mexican so not sure how they got to be called that, maybe the use of tortillas . Instead of pita they use tortillas, put in spicy sauce + fries, and toast it before serving.
Here’s how to make them :
Step 1 : I used my basic regular shawarma recipe . Replace the pita with tortillas, and added baked fries to the rest of the veggies/filling ingredients. Make tahini sauce.
Step 2 : Then I made a spicy sauce – mix together 3 tbsp mayo, 1 garlic clove, 1 heaped tsp Sriracha, squirt of lemon juice. Drizzle on top of meat and veg and roll into a wrap.
Step 3 : Bake it for 7 minutes at 350F, or toast on the stove/grill pan just before serving for a superb #unfriediftar. Enjoy!
Good news, I’ve updated with better pictures! Take a look :
