You know those weeks when you're just SO busy -- no time to prep any kind of meal, but you also don't want to eat awful food?
Ingredients
1 rotisserie chicken
1/4 cup olive oil
2 large onions, peeled and sliced into half moons
2 tablespoons sumac
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
6 flour tortillas or low carb alternative
salt, to taste
Directions
Begin by putting on gloves and removing the skin off the chicken. Shred the chicken meat and set aside.
In a large, deep pan, heat the olive oil on medium heat. Add the sliced onions. Saute for 1-2 minutes.
Add all of the chicken and stir thoroughly. Add the spices except the salt. You'll notice the mixture turns a little darker from the sumac.
Continue to stir on medium heat until onions have softened and the spices have been absorbed. Check the salt (note that rotisserie chicken is very salty, so taste before you add any extra!). You can continue sauteing if you want it to become crispier, or you can stop when the chicken is soft and tender. Turn off the heat. (You can stop here, store in the pan or a glass storage container and refrigerate until ready to use. At that point, just gently reheat in a pan once again).
Start assembling your rollups! Lay out 6 flour tortillas or low-carb wrap (Joseph's Lavash or Carb Balance are both great). Place about 1/2-3/4 cup of the chicken mixture and spread it along the length of the tortilla. Roll it up just like a burrito!
In a flat-bottomed pan, add 1 teaspoon of oil and heat on medium heat. Add 3 or so rollups, depending on the size of your pan, next to each other but not touching. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, rotating onto all sides to make a crunchy shell. When lightly browned on all sides, remove and add more until you're done.
Slice the roll-ups in half and ENJOY!
ALTERNATIVES: For the final step, you can finish them in the air fryer or in the oven (just brush the outside with oil)
ALTERNATIVE SEASONING: - You can substitute curry powder for the sumac for a different twist on this dish. - You can toast or fry some pine nuts and fold them into the chicken mixture for a more authentic Msakhan experience. - You can dip the rollups in different sauces to add moisture -- hot sauce of any kind, sour cream, hummus, tzatziki sauce, tahini, greek yogurt, or my favorite: coriander chutney mixed with sour cream YUM!
