Preparation
- Make the chicken: In a large bowl, toss together the chicken, tomato paste, yogurt, smoked paprika, salt, coriander, cumin, turmeric, chili flakes, cinnamon, garlic, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil.
- Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- Cook the chicken in the hot oil for 8–10 minutes, until they develop a nice char and are cooked through. Set aside.
- Make the harissa yogurt sauce: In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, harissa, lemon juice, honey, and salt to taste until smooth. Set aside.
- Make the crunch wraps: On the center of each large tortilla, layer the ingredients in the following order: chicken, pita chips, harissa yogurt sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, onion, cucumbers, cheese, and 1 small corn tortilla. Fold the edges of the large tortilla over the filling, overlapping to create a sealed wrap.
- Heat a clean skillet over medium heat, and grease the skillet with oil or cooking spray.
- Working in batches, place each crunch wrap, folded side down, in the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes, until golden and sealed. Flip and cook for 2–3 minutes, until crispy on the other side.
- Slice the crunch wrap in half. Serve with extra harissa yogurt sauce on the side for dipping.
- Enjoy!
