Step 1
Start fries in the oven per package directions; they'll finish while you cook the kebab.
Step 2
Combine ground beef, cumin, paprika, 0.5 tsp salt, and pinch of pepper in a bowl.
Step 3
Divide mixture into 4 portions and mold onto skewers, pressing firmly into long ovals.
Step 4
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high until smoking, about 90 seconds.
Step 5
Sear kebabs without moving until deeply charred, 3 minutes per side. They should look dark and caramelized.
Step 6
Whisk tahini with lemon juice and 2 tbsp water until creamy and pourable. Season with salt to taste.
Step 7
Arrange fries on a plate, top with kebabs, add lettuce and tomato on the side, and drizzle tahini sauce.
