Homemade Beef Shawarma/Döner Wraps with Roasted Garlic Tzatziki

Instructions

1. Heat the oven. Preheat oven to 200°C / 392°F.
2. Season the beef. In a bowl, mix the ground beef with paprika, chili powder, black pepper, garlic powder, and salt just until combined.
3. Roll the beef thin. Place the beef on parchment paper. Cover with another sheet and roll into a thin, even rectangle.
4. Form a meat log. Remove the top parchment. Use the bottom parchment to roll the beef tightly into a log, like a jelly roll.
5. Prepare the garlic and tomatoes. Place the beef roll on a baking sheet. Add whole tomatoes and whole garlic heads to the tray. Slice tops off garlic heads if desired and drizzle garlic with olive oil.
6. Bake. Bake for 40 minutes, until beef is cooked through and tomatoes and garlic are soft.
7. Cool slightly. Let everything cool for about 15 minutes so the beef firms up and the tomatoes are easier to handle.
8. Make the roasted garlic tzatziki. Squeeze roasted garlic cloves from their skins into a bowl. Mash, then mix with Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, mint, dill, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.
9. Prepare the beef pieces. Remove the beef from parchment and tear or slice into small strips.
10. Peel the roasted tomatoes. Slip off the skins, then roughly chop or crush the tomatoes.
11. Assemble the wraps. Spread tzatziki over each flatbread. Add beef, roasted tomatoes, sliced red onion, and any optional cucumber or herbs.
12. Roll and toast. Roll wraps tightly. Toast seam-side down in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1–2 minutes per side until lightly crisp and warm.
