Steps

1. 1

   Start by preheating the oven to 375°F. To prepare the chicken, use a food processor to finely chop garlic and shallot. Combine them with basil and oil in the processor until you get a coarse paste. Season this mixture with salt, cinnamon, and pepper. Create shallow slits about 1/2-inch deep on both sides of the chicken. Rub the chicken all over with the basil paste before placing it on a baking sheet with rims. Bake the chicken until fully cooked, which should take around 12 to 15 minutes. Once done, allow the chicken to cool completely before shredding it into small pieces for later use.

2. 2

   Prepare the dressing by finely chopping the shallot in a clean food processor bowl. Next, incorporate the mango and blend until a smooth consistency is achieved. Then, introduce the lime juice and cayenne pepper into the mixture and process until well combined.

3. 3

   Prepare the wraps by spreading approximately 1/4 cup of mango dressing in the center of each lavash sheet. Arrange chicken, mango, and herbs on top. Roll up the lavash diagonally to create a cone shape. For later use, refrigerate the wraps by wrapping them in parchment paper and plastic wrap for up to 4 hours.
