In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced chicken with salt, black pepper powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, mayonnaise, minced fresh garlic, olive oil, and fresh lemon juice.

While the chicken marinates, prepare the garlic sauce. In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk (start with 3 tablespoons and add more if a thinner consistency is desired), ketchup, hot sauce, freshly chopped parsley, lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.

Heat the clarified butter or oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat. Once melted and shimmering, add the marinated chicken in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each batch for 8-10 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked through and lightly browned.

Warm the tortilla wraps according to package instructions (e.g., in a dry skillet, microwave, or oven). This makes them more pliable for wrapping.

To assemble each wrap, lay a warm tortilla flat. Spread a generous amount of the garlic sauce down the center. Layer with sumac onions, a portion of the cooked chicken shawarma, chopped tomatoes, chopped cucumber, pickled cucumbers, and a handful of spiced French fries. Drizzle with more garlic sauce if desired.
