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.<\/p>\n

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\u00a0\ud83d\ude02<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

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\u00a0\ud83e\udd37<\/span><\/span>. Instead of pita they use tortillas, put in spicy sauce + fries, and toast it before serving.<\/p>\n

Here’s how to make them :<\/p>\n

Step 1 : I used my basic regular shawarma recipe<\/a>\u00a0. Replace the pita with tortillas, and added baked fries to the rest of the veggies\/filling ingredients. Make tahini sauce.<\/p>\n

Step 2 : Then I made a spicy sauce\u00a0 – mix together 3 tbsp mayo, 1 garlic clove, 1 heaped tsp Sriracha, squirt of lemon juice.\u00a0 Drizzle on top of meat and veg and roll into a wrap.<\/p>\n

Step 3 : Bake it for 7 minutes at 350F, or toast on the stove\/grill pan just before serving for a superb\u00a0#<\/span>unfriedift<\/span><\/a>ar. Enjoy!<\/span><\/p>\n
