Instructions

In a large bowl, mix Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and spices. Add chicken and coat well. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours.
Heat a skillet over high heat and cook marinated chicken for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and browned.
In a blender, combine sour cream or Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and refrigerate.
Lay out tortillas or flatbread. Add cooked chicken, pickles, onions, tomatoes, and parsley. Drizzle with sauce and wrap tightly.
(Optional) Toast the wrap in the same skillet for a few minutes until golden and crispy.

Notes

Chicken thighs can be used for juicier results.
Marinate the chicken overnight for best flavor.
Wraps can be toasted for added crunch.
Make extra sauce and store in fridge for up to 1 week.
Perfect for meal prep or serving a crowd.
