Preparation

  1. Marinate the chicken: Thinly slice the chicken thighs against the grain, then transfer to a large bowl.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the lemon juice, chili powder, paprika, cumin, garlic, black pepper, cinnamon, and salt and stir well to combine.
  3. Pour the marinade over the chicken and toss to coat. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 2 hours.
  4. Make the pita chips: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). (Alternatively, preheat the air fryer to 390˚F (200°C).)
  5. Cut the pitas into triangles and place in a large bowl. Drizzle the olive oil, paprika, and oregano over the pita and toss to coat.
  6. Spread the pita in a single layer on a baking sheet and cook for 8–10 minutes, until golden brown. (Alternatively, spread the pita in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook for 15 minutes.)
  7. Cook the chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and charred in some places, 8–10 minutes.
  8. Make the tahini sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the yogurt, tahini, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Stir until smooth, adding a bit of water as needed to achieve your desired consistency.
  9. Assemble the nachos: Spread the pita chips on a serving platter. Top with the chicken, cucumber, lettuce, tomato, red onion, and the tahini sauce.
