• Onion - 1 medium, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon

• Lavash bread - 2 sheets
• Tomato - 1 large, diced

Steps

1. In a large bowl, combine ground lamb, ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2. Shape the meat mixture into elongated kebabs, about 10 cm long and 3 cm wide.
3. Preheat the grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the kebabs for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and nicely charred.
4. While the kebabs are cooking, heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add diced tomato and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

6. Remove the kebabs from the grill and wrap each kebab in lavash bread. Place them on a serving plate.
