Step 1
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 60 seconds.

Add lamb to the pan with paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper, breaking it up with a spoon as it browns, 5–6 minutes.
Step 3
Drizzle lemon juice over the lamb and stir in minced garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4
Warm the pita in the skillet for 20 seconds per side, then transfer to a plate.
Step 5
Layer the pita with lamb, fresh tomato, cucumber, and a small dollop of tahini if you have it.
Step 6
