# Steps To Follow:
01 -
In a large bowl, combine yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, coriander, cayenne (if using), salt, and black pepper. Add the sliced meat and mix thoroughly to ensure even coating. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours for optimal flavor infusion.
02 -
Preheat a grill pan or large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the marinated meat until deeply caramelized and fully cooked, about 8–10 minutes, turning for even coloration. Rest briefly, then slice into thin strips if needed.
03 -
Mix all garlic sauce ingredients in a bowl until smooth. In a separate bowl, combine the spicy sauce components. Refrigerate both sauces until assembly.
04 -
Heat each flatbread briefly on a dry pan or grill until softened and warm.
05 -
Lay the warmed flatbreads flat and layer with lettuce, sliced tomatoes, onions, and hot meat. Generously drizzle with garlic and spicy sauces. Roll or fold the bread tightly to encase the filling.
06 -
Place completed wraps on serving plates or boards. Accompany each with golden fries and a chilled drink. Optionally, garnish with extra sauce and lemon wedges.
# Notes and Tips:
01 -
For a charred, authentic finish, allow the meat to crisp at the edges.
02 -
Wrapping the döner in parchment paper enhances the street-food experience.
03 -
To mimic vertical roasting, thread marinated meat onto metal skewers and grill upright if possible.
