Chicken Shwarma

I don't recall where this came from

1/2 c. apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup plain yogurt (sour cream works in a pinch, or buttermilk or sour milk)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
salt and pepper
1 tsp shwarma spice
1/4 tsp cardamom
2 chicken thighs
1 chicken breast (or some combination of chicken meat)
Cut chicken into bite sized pieces or strips. Stir all ingredients together and let marinate at least 4 hours. Overnight is better.

Bake at 350 F for about half an hour or until chicken is cooked.

Sauce;
1/2 c tahini
1/4 c plain yogurt
1/2 tsp minced garlic
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or 1 tsp dried
salt and pepper to taste
Mix together in a small bowl and let sit until you're ready to eat.

4 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
1/2 red onion, sliced or some green onion, chopped
some shredded lettuce
pita bread

Smear pita bread with the sauce, then add chicken and veggies. Roll it up and eat it.
