In a medium bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, allspice, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to form a marinade.
Add the plant-based beef crumbles to the marinade and stir until the crumbles are well coated. Cover and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated plant-based beef crumbles and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are heated through and slightly crispy.
Warm the pita breads either in a dry skillet or in the oven for a few minutes until soft and pliable.
Lay a large lettuce leaf on each pita bread as a base layer.
Divide the cooked plant-based beef evenly among the pita breads, placing it over the lettuce.
Top each with chopped tomato, sliced cucumber, and red onion.
Drizzle a tablespoon of tahini sauce over the top.
Fold the pita over the filling to form a wrap, and serve immediately.
