# Directions:
01 - In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, cayenne, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Add sliced beef and toss to coat evenly. Marinate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 2 hours for enhanced flavor.

03 - Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high. Cook beef in batches for 4 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until meat is browned and cooked through. Remove from heat.
04 - Gently heat flatbreads in a dry skillet or in the microwave for a few seconds until they become soft and pliable.
05 - Spread a generous spoonful of creamy yogurt sauce over each flatbread. Layer with cooked beef, sliced red onion, tomato, cucumber strips, shredded lettuce, and fresh herbs if desired.
06 - Roll each wrap tightly and serve immediately. Offer additional yogurt sauce on the side.
