Oh my, yes indeed, this is a Sandwich Wrap you definitely need! You don’t even know. This is a Chourico Kebab Wrap with Portuguese Chourico Kebabs stuffed inside a steamed Pita Bread, an assortment of Vegetables & Chourico Sweet Heat Sauce or other sauces like Piri Piri Sauce & Mustard. It’s all wrapped up in a Pita Pocket and extremely satisfying.
With the Pork marinated for a full 24 hours or if done previously and frozen into portions, this meals comes together pretty quick and can be served with Fries or Chips on the side. Serve it with Piri Piri or Cajun spice for the Fries or Piri Piri, BBQ, Sweet Chili Heat Chips.
Portuguese Chourico Kebabs
Head on over and prepare the Portuguese Chourico Kebabs, dicing the meat into 1 inch cubes. Once these are marinated, you can use some to make the Chourico Kebab Wrap, then portion and freeze the remaining for future meals. I use 2 Kebabs for 1 Chourico Wrap.

Once marinated for 24 hours, Skewer and cook to an internal temp of 145 F or greater and stuff the Steamed Pitas.

Chourico Kebab Wrap Bread
The go-to Bread for this wrap is a Steamed Pita Bread. These are prepared the same way as Pita Pit by stuffing the Salad, Sauce, and meat into the Pitas and rolling them up. I’d imagine this would make one hell of a Sandwich, on Portuguese Papo Secos.
Pita Bread
Steamed until softened and opened along the edge, about 40 %. Separate carefully to create the pocket.
Masterclass Steamer Set
The Masterclass Steamer set is excellent for this, just place water in, about an inch and set over max heat. Once steaming, place the Pita bread in and steam a few seconds and flip with tongs to steam the other side for just a few seconds. Then open the Pita bread up along the edge about 40 %.
Chourico Kebab Wrap Sauce
This recipe uses a Sweet Heat Sauce made with Mayo, Sugar, Yellow Mustard and Frank’s RedHot Sauce. Optionally, the Hot Sauce can be exchanged with a Piri Piri Sauce or Sriracha added to taste. You can also do just Mustard with a bit of Piri Piri Sauce added to taste.
Chourico Sweet Heat Sauce
