Ingredients
    For the Spicy Beef Filling
  • 500 g beef mince
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp chili powder (adjust to taste)
  • 0.5 tsp cumin powder
  • 0.5 tsp coriander powder
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 tbsp water
    • For the Flatbread Wraps
  • 4 large flatbreads or tortillas
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for brushing)
    • For the Fresh Toppings
  • 1 cup lettuce (thinly sliced)
  • 1 medium tomato (diced)
  • 0.5 cup cucumber (thin slices)
  • 0.25 cup red onion (thin slices)
    • For the Creamy Sauce
  • 0.5 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt to taste
Instructions
    Prepare the Sauce
  1. 1
    In a small bowl, combine yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, and salt. Mix until smooth and creamy. Cover and refrigerate so the flavors develop while you prepare the rest of the dish.
    2. Cook the Spicy Beef
  2. 2
    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until soft and translucent. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. 3
    Add the beef mince, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook for 6–8 minutes until fully browned and no longer pink.
    4. Season the Beef
  4. 4
    Add paprika, chili powder, cumin, coriander powder, black pepper, and salt. Stir well to coat the beef evenly. Mix in tomato paste and water, then simmer for 2–3 minutes until the mixture becomes juicy and well combined. Remove from heat and let it rest briefly.
    5. Warm the Flatbread
  5. 5
    Lightly brush flatbreads with olive oil. Warm them on a dry pan or in a preheated oven at 180°C for 2–3 minutes until soft and flexible.
    6. Assemble the Wraps
  6. 6
    Spread a generous layer of creamy sauce over each flatbread. Add a portion of spicy beef, then top with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and red onion. Fold tightly into wraps.
    7. Serve
  7. 7
    Serve immediately while warm. Slice in half if desired for easier handling and a beautiful presentation.
Note

For extra heat, add fresh chopped green chilies or chili flakes.

Ground chicken or lamb can be used instead of beef.

Store cooked beef in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

These wraps are excellent for meal prep—assemble just before serving for best texture.
