Wonderful for a picnic or a light lunch, this chicken tortilla is all about the Toum paste. Toum only requires a few ingredients, you can make it in advance for an easy life. It will keep for a week.

Toum is a very popular Lebanese sauce through the Middle East. You can eat it with any kind of meat like chicken, lamb or beef but also with vegetables or even sweet potato fries. The possibilities are endless!

I am showing you today how to make an easy tortilla with BBQ chicken, tomato and cucumber salad, covered with this lovely sauce.

The taste will not be too bitter, I will show you. Hope you like it!
