- Place shawarma bread or tortilla wraps on the table. Spread the mayonnaise and ketchup mix on it and then fill it with the sliced vegetables and chicken on one end and sprinkle some chili pepper (optional).
- Then fold the bread, tuck in the edge, and roll to form a shawarma wrap.
- If you want to warm it up a bit, place it on a heated pan for three minutes(the closed edge facing the pan). If you have a microwave or sandwich maker, feel free to use those too.
