👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the filling: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced mushrooms, diced onion, and bell pepper; cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Stir in minced garlic, drained chickpeas, and shawarma spice blend. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, allowing flavors to meld, then remove from heat.
3. Prepare the tahini sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, remaining minced garlic, and water until smooth and creamy. Adjust water for desired consistency.
4. Warm pita breads according to package instructions, either in a dry skillet, microwave, or oven.
5. Assemble the shawarma: Spread a generous amount of the shawarma filling onto each warm pita. Top with shredded romaine lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and cucumber.
6. Drizzle generously with tahini sauce, then roll or fold the pita to serve immediately.
