- Grill the kofta skewers for 4-5 minutes per side, until cooked through and slightly charred.

- To assemble, place two koftas on each flatbread, add a generous spoonful of tzatziki, and garnish with fresh mint leaves and optional sliced tomatoes and red onion.
- Wrap tightly and serve immediately.
Notes
For a smoky flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika to the beef mixture or grill over charcoal. You can also swap beef for lamb for a more authentic taste.
