Chicken kefta baked on a sheet pan and served in wraps with roasted garlic sauce and a bright sumac tomato salad.
Sheet pan kefta is a useful shortcut when you want the flavour of shaped kofta without the extra handling. Spreading the mixture in a flat layer also gives more browned edges, which helps the finished wrap taste closer to grilled meat.
The salad and sauce do most of the balancing work here. Sumac and lemon keep the wrap bright, while the roasted garlic sauce brings richness without needing a heavy amount of cheese or extra oil.
For a balanced plate, use plenty of salad inside the wrap and keep the sauce to enough for moisture rather than a thick layer. The kefta also works well served in a bowl with rice, chopped vegetables or a cucumber salad.
Chicken kefta can be softer than beef or lamb versions, so spreading it on a sheet pan is a practical way to keep it easy to handle while still getting some browned edges. That extra surface color brings flavor that shaped meatballs or skewers would normally get from a grill.
The roasted garlic sauce is also doing more than adding richness. It softens the spice profile and helps the wrap feel complete without needing cheese or heavier toppings.
These wraps are easiest to serve when the salad stays bright and generous. The fresh vegetables and lemon help balance the richer sauce and the roasted meat.
If you are meal-prepping, store the kefta, salad, and sauce separately and warm the wraps just before assembling.
That separation also helps the wraps feel fresher at serving time, which matters more here than adding extra toppings or more sauce.
