1. 1Combine beef, lamb, squeezed onion, garlic, 2 tablespoons yogurt, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt and pepper. Knead for 4–5 minutes until sticky, or pulse in a food processor until cohesive.
2. 2Shape into a tightly packed loaf about 3 inches thick on a foil-lined baking sheet. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours so the seasoning develops.
3. 3Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Uncover and bake for about 50–60 minutes until the center reaches 160°F (71°C). Check with a thermometer rather than relying on time alone.
4. 4Rest the cooked loaf for 10 minutes. Use a sharp knife to shave off thin slices; this home version is oven-baked rather than cooked on a vertical rotisserie.
5. 5Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Crisp the slices in batches for 1–2 minutes per side. Warm the flatbreads separately in a dry skillet.
6. 6Fill breads with meat, lettuce, tomatoes and red onion, adding serving yogurt. Refrigerate meat and toppings separately within 2 hours for up to 3–4 days; reheat meat to 165°F (74°C).
