Finely chop the onion and garlic.
In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb or beef with chopped onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Form the meat mixture into long, sausage-like shapes (about 8-10 cm long) and set aside on a plate.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the kebab shapes and cook for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through.
While the kebabs are cooking, prepare the yogurt dressing. Grate the cucumber and squeeze out excess moisture. In a small bowl, mix the grated cucumber with Greek yogurt and finely chopped mint leaves. Season with salt to taste.
Slice the tomato thinly.
To assemble, place each cooked kebab into a large lettuce leaf. Top with tomato slices and a dollop of the cucumber yogurt sauce.
Roll the lettuce leaf around the filling to form a wrap and secure with a toothpick if necessary.
Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your low-carb Durum Kebab wraps!
