Take the chicken and separate the breast meat and legs from the bones. cut the meat into small pieces. In total you will need about 500 grams of meat.

Place the chicken in a frying pan and fry with vegetable oil until cooked.

While the meat is cooking, cut one large tomato into small pieces.

Cut the white cabbage into thin long strips and knead well to give the cabbage softness and release a little juice.

We will also prepare iceberg lettuce

And Korean carrots (or carrots in Korean). I got it today with the addition of eggplant - I bought it in the store.

Now about the sauce.
I will divide shawarma into two types - with ketchup and with sauce made from sour cream, garlic and dill.

Place sour cream on a plate

Add finely chopped garlic and dill with sour cream. I take the greens out of the freezer when they are ready.

Such a simple, but quite spicy and tasty sauce.

The filling is ready.
We take Armenian lavash. I buy lavash three pieces per package, each weighing 100 grams.

In total I will need 5 pita breads - I will cook five pieces of shawarma. Our filling is just enough for this.

Spread the pita bread and place the filling closer to the edge in any order, all to your taste and preference.
As for me, I post first sour cream sauce, then tomato, meat and all other ingredients.

But I try to add ketchup to the middle of the filling, but otherwise, it seems to me that it is unevenly distributed.

We put the filling in, now we begin to twist the filling, forming a roll and folding the edges so that everything fits tightly to each other.

Place the shawarma, seam side down from the pita bread, in a frying pan without oil, and heat the seam for 3-5 minutes until golden brown, so that the shawarma does not open. And we do this with each one. Nothing sticks to the pan.

This is such a delicious, homemade shawarma we got.
I especially like this filling.

And so, you can add cucumber, pepper, and Chinese cabbage, and onions - and everything you like so much! And it will always turn out very tasty even with ketchup, mayonnaise or some other topping. A win-win option, and a good, filling snack.

Thank you all for your attention, I wish you to prepare many new and delicious recipes!
