# Directions:
01 - In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, cayenne, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Add the beef slices and coat thoroughly. Refrigerate and marinate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 2 hours for intensified flavor.

03 - Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high. Cook the marinated beef in batches for 4 to 6 minutes, stirring as needed, until browned and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
04 - Briefly heat each flatbread in a dry skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.
05 - Spread a generous layer of creamy yogurt sauce over each flatbread. Add beef, onion, tomato, cucumber, lettuce, and fresh herbs as desired.
06 - Roll each wrap tightly. Serve immediately with extra yogurt sauce alongside.
