can't believe I never rated this....make it all the time. I have never had one prior to this, so not sure what it tastes like from a street vendor, but this has become one of our traditional summer meals now and greatly enjoyed by anyone who finds themselves at our table. Thank you!

The flavors dance in your mouth and there's a "Mmmm" with each bite.

I really liked this recipe. It is a great summer night meal,very fresh and light yet not at all lacking in flavor. I used a third of the called for chicken and added some honey to the chicken onions and garlic mixture to tone down some of the cumin flavor. I also drizzled ranch dressing inside the wrap instead of mayo and found it complimented the chicken flavors very well. Easy. Quick. Light. Delicious.
