In a large bowl, mix together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for best results.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers and grill for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.
In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, 3 tablespoons of water, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt until smooth and creamy.
To assemble the kebabs, lay each flatbread on a clean surface and spread a generous amount of tahini sauce over the center.
Place some grilled chicken pieces along with shredded lettuce, sliced tomato, cucumber, red onion, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley onto each flatbread.
Wrap the flatbread tightly around the fillings, using a piece of parchment paper or foil to secure if necessary.
Serve the durum kebabs warm, with any extra tahini sauce on the side for dipping.
