15-Minute Vegan ‘Chicken’ Shawarma

15-Minute Vegan Chicken Shawarma Wraps | Perfect for an easy plant-based lunch or dinner!

The only thing better than a 30 minute meal is a 15 minute meal, amirite? I came up with this quick Vegan Chicken Shawarma the other day and I honestly don’t know why it took me this long.

Vegan Chicken Shawarma is absolutely delicious- so flavorful and it couldn’t be easier to make! Just a handful of spices, lemon juice, and your favorite vegan chicken is all it takes.

Fill your vegan chicken shawarma wraps with your favorite veggies and a large dollop of hummus or sunflower tzatziki. Either will taste great!

I love adding a few pickled onions to the recipe, but you can also use sliced red onion. If you need an easy pickled onion recipe, try this one.  Just swap thinly sliced red onion for the radishes.

You’re going to LOVE this vegan chicken shawarma recipe! It’s:

Fast

Generously spiced

So easy!

For a lighter meal, make a vegan chicken shawarma bowl with plenty of greens and vegetables. Don’t forget the vegan tzatziki!
