A flavor combo with the corn tortillas and the juicy flavorful chicken shawarma. Topped with some pickles and a drizzle of garlic sauce (toum). It is gluten free and much lighter on the stomach. And this garlic sauce recipe is way better than the store bought. It has no eggs. Very little oil. And extremely mild in flavor. I promise it wont give you a heart burn
