Shawarma wraps a delicious bite.
Fast food at its best!
Sometimes I just want a simple, fast meal. A little fast food. And that is kind of allright isn't it, right!
I could go outside to a restaurant or snack bar. Very tasty, but with my peanut allergy it could get very difficult. So I just make the good stuff myself.
I used beef strips (yes I know it's not really the original lamb recipe, but I just had some beef laying around, but feel free to vary) and a homemade shawarma spice mix.
The wraps I fold into bags that I filled with lettuce, tomatoes and cucumber, and then I add the meat. A dollop of garlic sauce and it can be distributed. Serve with a salad or fries!
And as real fast-food: Ready in 15 minutes! So fast I can't get it in the take-out or call in. That is really fast food.
Because ...
- you got stiff wraps when you get them out of the package, you just put them in the pan on low heat. That way they can be fold easily in the right shape.
- you want a crunchy salad, you probably can use iceberg lettuce, which remains crispy at best.
- because you make your own spice blend, you can customize the shawarma to your own taste.
It's a good taste!
