Chicken Burrito

Instructions

  1. Refrigerate the chicken pieces in the marinade for 24 hours.
  2. Chop all the ingredients for the chimichurri sauce into small cubes. Put them in a mixing bowl and add salt, pepper, rosemary, parsley, dried oregano, olive oil, and finally apple cider vinegar. 
  3. For the yogurt sauce, mix the olive oil and crushed garlic, then add the yogurt, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. 
  4. Put the ingredients for tahini sauce in a bowl and mix well.
  5. Place the marinated chicken pieces in a deep baking tray with a lid. Bake in a preheated 180-degree oven for 1 hour and 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the oil layer accumulated on the chicken pieces with the help of a ladle. Crush the cooked chicken pieces with the help of a colander and grind them to a consistency similar to marshmallows. 
  6. Spread 2 teaspoons each of yogurt and tahini sauce on the center of the tortilla that you heated in a pan or microwave oven. Place the cooked chicken pieces thinly in the center of the tortilla as strips, and wrap the tortilla tightly by bending the sides. Fry the rolled tortilla in a pan or, if possible, in a toaster oven. After frying, cut the tortilla into equal, medium-thick 4-5 pieces.
  7. Add walnut-sized yogurt sauce and chimichurri sauce to the cut pieces. Sprinkle sumac on the tortilla slices, garnished with fresh cilantro. Bon Appetite!
