Preparation

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine ground chicken, onion, garlic, parsley, cilantro, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the beaten egg and breadcrumbs (if using). Mix until combined, ensuring the mixture feels moist but holds together.

Cooking Kofta

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Form the chicken mixture into oval patties and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.

  • In another skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place a tortilla in the skillet, sprinkle half with cheese, add 3-4 kofta patties, and feta if using. Fold and cook until golden and cheese is melted.
  • Remove from skillet, rest for a minute, and slice into wedges. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

Serving

  • Serve warm with sour cream and salsa on the side.
