Chicken Kefta Wraps
Chicken Kefta Wraps - Chicken Kefta Wraps are a great recipe to feed a crowd. The chicken mixture is made with ground chicken, zucchini, tons of herbs and a little tahini to give it some extra pizzaz. Then that gets wrapped up on a piece of Naan with some Fattoush Salad and a sumac vinaigrette for good measure. It’s perfection if you ask me.

Instructions

For the Salad
- In a large bowl toss together the lettuce, green onions, tomatoes, cucumber, mint, and parsley.
For the Dressing
- In another smaller bowl, water with soaked sumac, lemon juice, pomegranate molasses, garlic, red wine vinegar and olive oil. Whisk to combine and season with salt as needed.
- Combine the dressing with the salad and gently combine until lightly dressed. Place spoonfuls of salad on toasted Stonefire Naan and top with chicken kebabs and drizzle with dressing. Wrap and serve.
