Prep the Protein: Slice the chosen protein and add it to the bowl. Then, add the Shawarma seasoning and mix well to coat the protein. Slice the yellow onions and add them to the protein mixture, mixing until well combined. Cover and set aside. Refrigerate if you are not using it right away.
Prep the Garnishes: Slice the tomatoes, lettuce, and sweet onion, and set them aside. You can optionally add pickled turnips and/or Lebanese sour pickles, along with fresh mint, for a fresh pop.
Cook the Protein: Heat a non-stick pan with 1 tbsp neutral oil. Add and spread protein evenly. Let it cook for 3 to 4 minutes, then stir. Cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes to ensure it is thoroughly cooked.
Once it is cooked, move to a plate to rest for a few minutes.
Assemble Sandwich: Lay the pita on the plate, add toum (Garlic Sauce) and/or tahini sauce, and top with chicken or beef shawarma, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, and pickled turnips. Wrap it tightly and enjoy.
Serve family-style: Add each ingredient to the table individually, and let everyone assemble their sandwich or plate.
Shawarma bowl: rice, protein, and topped with a veggie mixture, drizzled with preferred sauce.
