JORDANIAN CHICKEN WRAPS
A Jordanian friend of mine introduced me to these flavorful and satisfying wraps several years ago. My husband and I love these! They make a great meal, at home, or on the road. The proportions of spices are approximate... it's a rich yellow with red speckled look and aromatic smell that you should go for. You can eat them hot, or better, at just above room temperature. This is not a quick recipe. It's best if you can work on it throughout the day. I'd love to know the real name for this or better instructions if anyone knows them.
