- 1 kg Boneless lamb shoulder or chicken breast
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 200 grams Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons Ground coriander
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 6 Gluten-free flatbreads
- 2 Tomato, sliced

Instructions
In a large bowl, mix together minced garlic, olive oil, yogurt, lemon juice, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Slice the lamb shoulder or chicken breast into thin slices, approximately 1 cm thick.
Add the meat to the bowl with the marinade and mix thoroughly until all slices are well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for best flavor.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
Thread the marinated meat slices onto skewers, pressing tightly together and forming them into a compact stack.
Place the skewers on a baking tray. Ensure the skewers hang over the edges so the meat doesn't touch the tray base, allowing the heat to circulate evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 to 60 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through and slightly charred on the edges, rotating the skewers occasionally for even cooking.
While the meat is cooking, prepare the toppings: slice the tomatoes, red onion, and cucumber. Chop the parsley.
Once the meat is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice it thinly with a sharp knife.
Warm the gluten-free flatbreads in the oven or on a pan.
Assemble the doner kebabs by placing a portion of the meat on each flatbread, adding sliced tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, and a sprinkle of chopped parsley.
Drizzle with tahini sauce or tzatziki, roll up the flatbread tightly, and serve immediately. Enjoy your gluten-free homemade doner kebabs!
