    1 Cut chicken into thin strips. Mix turmeric, oil, lemon juice, salt and oregano. Add chicken and leave to marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight. Meanwhile mix all salad ingredients and chill. Mix yoghurt and hummus together.

    2 Once marinated, thread chicken onto skewers. Thread tomatoes and onion onto separate skewers.

    3 Cook chicken under a medium grill, brushing with the marinade and turning once, until tinged golden at edges and cooked through. Cook vegetable skewers for a few minutes.

    4 Warm the wraps, spread with hummus and top with some salad. Wrap. Serve kebabs with wraps and remaining salad.

    Variations

    Make it gluten free: Use gluten-free wraps and check turmeric is gluten free.
