Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, dairy-free cheese, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, cumin, allspice, salt, and black pepper.
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined. You may use your hands for better mixing.
Take one almond flour flatbread and spread about a quarter of the lamb mixture evenly on one half of the flatbread. Fold the flatbread over to enclose the filling, pressing gently to seal the edges.
Repeat with the remaining flatbreads and lamb mixture.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the filled flatbreads and cook for about 2 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Transfer the browned flatbreads to the prepared baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes until the lamb is fully cooked and the flatbreads are crisp.
Once baked, remove the arayes from the oven, allow to cool for a few minutes, then cut them into wedges.
Serve the Paleo Arayes warm as an appetizer or main dish.
