Instructions
- Mix the meat with half the cumin, the salt and the pepper, then let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over high heat and cook the meat for 3 to 4 minutes, until seared but still tender.
- Lower the heat, add the chilli flakes, the remaining cumin and the green chillies, then stir for 1 minute.
- In a bowl, mix the sliced onion, tomatoes, chopped parsley and sumac, then season with a pinch of salt.
- Warm the lavaş for about 30 seconds, dry, in a hot pan.
- Spread the meat down the centre of each flatbread, add the topping and a squeeze of lemon, then roll it up tightly.
Variations and tips
Lamb version. Replace the beef with lamb cut into strips for a richer, more fragrant flavour.
With what you can find. If lavaş is hard to find, use wheat tortillas or open pitas.
