  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp ground cumin

For Serving:

  • Pita bread or flatbreads
  • Fresh vegetables (cucumber, tomato, onion)

3. Step-by-Step Instructions for the Marvel Shawarma

Marinate the Chicken

In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and all the spices—cumin, paprika, turmeric, coriander, and cinnamon. Mix well. Add the chicken pieces, ensuring they’re fully coated with the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for maximum flavor, similar to how Marvel recipes enhance their dishes’ richness.

Cook the Shawarma

Preheat your Ninja Air Fryer Pro Crisp & Roast 4-in-1 or a skillet over medium heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off excess, and cook until golden brown and cooked through—about 8-10 minutes. If using a slow cooker, check out the Crock-Pot Family-Size Slow Cooker for easy, hands-off cooking.

Assemble the Shawarma Wraps

Slice the cooked shawarma thinly. Warm the pita or flatbread, then layer with fresh vegetables, sliced shawarma, hummus, and garlic sauce. For a more authentic experience, add pickles and a drizzle of tahini. Serve immediately and enjoy this Marvel shawarma dish inspired by famous Avengers movie food.

4. Storage Tips for Leftover Marvel Shawarma

Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, microwave or warm in a skillet until hot. For best results, store the cooked chicken separately from the bread and fresh vegetables to maintain freshness. Check out our storage tips for other Marvel recipes.
