In a bowl, combine the sliced chicken, spices, olive oil, garlic, tomato paste, yogurt, and lemon juice. Mix well & marinate for as long as your patience can handle, up to overnight.

In a large pan over medium-high heat, add a layer of olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken. Cook undisturbed for 3 mins, then cook for 6–7 more mins, stirring often, until golden & cooked through.
3
In a bowl, combine the sliced red onion, olive oil, lemon juice, parsley, salt, pepper, and sumac. Toss well, set aside.

Prepare your French fries however you like. Assemble the wraps: spread a generous layer of garlic sauce onto each pita. Top with chicken, French fries, diced tomatoes & the onions. Wrap tightly.
7
Melt butter in a pan over low heat. Place the wraps seam-side down & brush the tops with the red sauce. Cook until crispy golden, flip, brush the other side, & repeat. Top with more garlic sauce. Enjoy!!
