Yes, it is possible to have delicious, comforting soup in under 30 minutes. To make this vegetarian meal a little meatier, just add 1 (12-ounce) package of sliced cooked Italian-style chicken sausage to the soup in Step 2.
Easy Beef Shawarma
Tip
You can find the shawarma seasoning you’ll need for this recipe at Whole Foods, Middle Eastern markets, or online. Pro tip: Wrap the sirloin in plastic wrap and freeze 30 minutes to 1 hour to make it easier to thinly slice.
For this delicious meal, you'll add cooked, thinly sliced, shawarma-seasoned beef sirloin, tomatoes, onions, and homemade tahini sauce to a tortilla and cook it in a panini press. However, if you don't have a panini press, you can make it in a skillet with a grill press or even the bottom of another pan.
