My review
Schwarma
3BadBoxers
"A wrap done by Middle Eastern street vendors - the recipe is surprisingly easy, not a lot of exotic ingredients, and good. The most difficult part is cutting the meat very thin! These can also be made with beef or lamb."

These were really great. A tip for slicing the meat really thin: Freeze it first for at least 30 minutes. Makes it much easier.
