• 125 grams Greek yogurt
• 4 pieces Low sodium whole wheat flatbreads
• 1 medium Cucumber, sliced
• 2 medium Tomato, sliced
• 1 small Red onion, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced

Directions

Step 1

Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, turmeric, cinnamon, garlic powder, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 3

Add olive oil and lemon juice to the spice mix and stir to create a marinade.

Step 4

Add the beef strips to the marinade, ensuring each piece is coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

Step 5

Preheat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated beef strips for about 6-8 minutes, turning halfway, until cooked through.

Step 6

While the beef is cooking, make the garlic sauce by mixing the Greek yogurt, minced garlic cloves, ground paprika, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper in a small bowl.

Step 7

Warm the low sodium whole wheat flatbreads on a pan or in the oven.

Step 8

Assemble the wraps by placing cooked beef onto each flatbread. Top with sliced cucumber, tomato, red onion, chopped parsley, and a dollop of the garlic sauce.

Step 9

Wrap tightly and serve warm.
