In a large bowl, combine the drained chickpeas, olive oil, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Toss until the chickpeas are evenly coated with the spices.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the spiced chickpeas and cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are lightly browned and heated through.
While chickpeas are cooking, prepare the yogurt sauce by mixing the vegan yogurt, minced garlic, and salt in a small bowl. Stir until well combined and set aside.
Once the chickpeas are done, warm the durum flatbreads or wraps in the skillet for a minute or two on each side until soft and pliable.
To assemble the kebabs, lay a flatbread on a clean surface. Spread a generous spoonful of the yogurt sauce onto the center of the flatbread.
Top with a handful of the cooked chickpeas followed by slices of red onion, diced tomato, cucumber, and bell pepper. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Add hot sauce if desired, then fold in the sides of the flatbread and roll it up tightly to enclose the filling.
Repeat the assembly process with the remaining flatbreads and ingredients. Slice the durums in half for easy serving.
Serve the vegan durums immediately, enjoying them warm with extra yogurt sauce on the side if desired.
