In a pestle and mortar, grind together the shawarma spice blend. You can also just mix together in a bowl without grinding in a pestle and mortar.
To a large bowl, add the shawarma spice blend, chicken thighs, yoghurt, garlic, chilli pasta, olive oil, lemon juice and mix until combined. Leave to marinade for as long as you can - it’s fine to go straight to cooking.
When ready to cook, preheat oven to 180°C/ 365°F.
Thread the chicken onto two skewers per kebab and make a total of four kebabs. Transfer to a lined baking tray, spray with low calorie cooking spray and bake for 20-25 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the chilli sauce. Heat a small pan on medium heat and cook the tomato puree and chilli paste for 3-4 minutes. Add the cumin, oregano and water, bring the sauce to a low simmer and cook for 10 minutes on low heat until thick.
When ready to make the kebabs, soak each flatbread in the chilli sauce, then build the kebabs: add yoghurt, chilli sauce, lettuce, shawarma chicken, tomatoes, cucumber, pickled chilli and close the wrap.
In a large pan, toast the kebabs on high heat for 3 minutes on each side, until crispy.
