Can I make chicken kefta wraps ahead of time?

Yes, you can cook the kefta in advance and refrigerate. Assemble wraps with sauce and salad just before serving for best texture.

What bread works best for kefta wraps?

Lavash, pita, or flatbreads all work well. Toasting them lightly makes the wraps sturdier and tastier.

Can I substitute chicken with beef or lamb?

Absolutely. Ground beef or lamb will give a richer, traditional kofta flavor.

The Magic of Sheet Pan Chicken Kefta 🔥

Unlike traditional skewered kefta, this recipe bakes the spiced chicken mixture on a sheet pan. Scored into strips before baking, the kefta cooks evenly and stays moist. A quick broil at the end adds that irresistible golden char. It’s a shortcut method that saves time while still delivering authentic flavor.

Roasted Garlic Paprika Sauce 🧄✨

The sauce is non-negotiable—roasted garlic mashed into creamy yogurt and mayo with a hit of paprika. It’s smoky, tangy, and pairs beautifully with the spiced chicken. Spread it generously inside your wrap for maximum flavor in every bite.

Fresh Sumac Salad 🥗

To cut through the richness, a bright salad with lemon, sumac, tomatoes, and parsley adds a refreshing crunch. This balance of textures is what makes these wraps so addictive.

Serving Ideas 🍽️

Serve with lavash, pita, or naan.
Add pickled turnips or cucumbers for extra tang.
Crisp the filled wrap in a skillet for 2 minutes per side for a warm, crunchy finish.

Tips for Success 🔑

Toast the tomato paste briefly before mixing—it deepens the flavor.
Squeeze your onions really well to prevent excess moisture in the kefta.
Roast extra garlic heads—you’ll want more of that sauce for dipping fries or veggies.
