These are pretty much the Middle Eastern version of taquitos 🙂 Musakhan chicken wraps are based on a classic Palestinian dish that has gained in popularity all over the Middle East in sandwich form. Traditionally whole chicken pieces are seasoned and cooked in a clay oven then placed on top of fresh flat bread. Classic musakhan (msakhan/imsakhan) is a special meal shared with a group of family and close friends where everyone gathers around and gets their hands dirty eating the chicken and bread…often times straight from the large platter it is served on. It is truly a delicious meal to eat and one that I will share with you sometime. This version is for a beginning or busy cook, looking for something fast, delicious and e.a.s.y. I love to prepare a batch of these and keep them unbaked in the freezer, ready to be grilled at a moment’s notice for a quick lunch or on the go meal.
