Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Chicken:
    Thinly slice the chicken breast into small pieces. You can slightly freeze the chicken to make slicing easier.

  2. Cook the Chicken:
    Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken slices and cook, stirring frequently, until the chicken is fully cooked and slightly browned.

  3. Add Spices:
    Once the chicken is cooked, add paprika, cumin, black pepper, and salt to the pan. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly with the spices.

  4. Add Vegetables:
    Add the chopped onion and green peppers (if using) to the pan. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the onions are softened.

  5. Tomatoes and Water:
    Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan, followed by 1/2 cup of water. Stir and let it cook until the tomatoes soften and the mixture becomes slightly saucy.

  6. Assemble the Tantuni:
    Warm the tortilla wraps or flatbreads. Place a portion of the chicken mixture in the center of each wrap. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and squeeze a little lemon juice on top if desired.

  7. Serve:
    Roll the wraps tightly and serve hot. You can also serve with pickles or a side of yogurt.
