Step 1
Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine ground beef, diced onion, parsley, mint, red pepper flakes, cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, and minced garlic.
Step 3
Mix gently with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.
Step 4
Divide mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each onto a skewer, creating a long, slightly flattened log.
Step 5
Brush kebabs with olive oil and let rest for 15 minutes at room temperature.
Step 6
Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F).
Step 7
Place kebabs on grill grates and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes to ensure even cooking and charring.
Step 8
Kebabs are done when internal temperature reaches 160°F and meat is browned and slightly charred on the outside.
Step 9
Mix yogurt with lemon juice and a pinch of salt to create a sauce.
Step 10
Warm flatbread on the grill for 30 seconds per side.
Step 11
Slide kebab meat onto flatbread and top with tomato, cucumber, and onion slices.
