Mediterranean Chicken Wraps With Sambal Mayonnaise

A great way to make lunch more healthy and taste a whole lot better. These can be made the night before you go off to work and will keep just fine. You can use either whole wheat tortillas, or flour tortillas depending on your taste. The great thing about this recipe is the way the Sumak (available in middle eastern stores) is combined with the fresh ingredients. If you don't like your food too spicy, just omit the Sambal.

1pkg whole wheat tortillas
1lb chicken breasts
1t cumin
1t garlic powder
1t salt
pepper to taste
2T Sumak
1T Sambal
1T mayonnaise
1 tomato (cut up into chunks)
1 head of lettuce
1 red onion
1T butter
1T olive oil

Directions:
On a plate, sprinkle the garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper on the chicken. Put the butter in the frying pan, on medium high heat, and when it sizzles put in the olive oil to prevent the butter from burning. Place the chicken into the pan and cook until done (approx. 8 min. per side). Once the chicken is done then drain on paper towels. Sprinkle Sumak onto the chicken and set aside to cool.
While the chicken is cooking you can get the other ingredients ready. Chop up the lettuce, cut the tomatoes and onions, etc. Combine the sambal and mayonnaise and spread it onto a tortilla.
place the lettuce, tomatoes and red onion in the center. Put some of the chicken on top and fold up the tortilla. Slice at an angle and wrap tightly in foil. Try to keep refrigerated until ready to eat.
