SHAWARMA

An all time snack for several people all over the world. Ranging from the Europeans to the West Africans and most especially Nigerians :))) Some Call it Kebab, Others Fajitas and even, SHAWARMA.

Ingredients
Tortilla Wraps or Shawarma Bread
2 Boneless Chicken Breasts/ Beef (Thinly Cut)
1 Small Cabbage (Thinly cut)
2 Large Carrots (Grated)
3 small Tomatoes (Thinly Cut)
Onion (Thinly Cut)
Cucumber (Thinly Cut)
Mayo
Ketchup
Salt
2 tsp minced onions
2 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp thyme
1 Knorr stock cube
1 tsp chilli pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
Preparing the Shawarma
Wash the veggies and set aside
Add the marinade to the cut chicken or beef and place in the fridge overnight. I store mine for a day (24 hours) for a greater taste. 
Heat up a tbsp of oil in a deep pan. Add the marinated chicken/beef and stir fry until brown and set aside to cool in a bowl or plate.
Then, in another bowl, mix some mayo and ketchup together. Place the tortilla wrap on a clean flat surface and spread the mayo mix on it, filling it with the vegetables and marinated chicken and beef. After that, sprinkle some of the chilli pepper on it.
Lastly, fold the bread as in the picture above, gently closing the edges.
And your Shawarma is ready to be served. Enjoy!!!
