Vegetable shawarma
Description
The recipe won't take much time. I've always loved shawarma and could never walk past a stall where it's made without stopping, but recently I came across a recipe for vegetable shawarma and realized this dish can easily be prepared at home. It actually turns out even tastier, because when cooking for yourself you won't skimp on ingredients—meaning your shawarma will be packed with meat and plenty of vegetables. Isn't that great? Believe me, homemade shawarma with vegetables turns out so delicious that after trying it, you won't even want to look at store-bought versions again. Serve hot.

Now we need to cut one lavash in half, and divide the filling into two equal parts as well. Place one whole lavash on the table and put the cut half of the other lavash on one side of it to make it thicker (in total, we'll make 2 shawarmas using 3 lavashes). Then, on one side of the thickened area, place the chicken fillet, sprinkle with paprika, add potatoes, and top with julienned cucumber.
