A kebab-style mille-feuille? That's exactly what this recipe for homemade lavash kebab is all about, with tortillas and fragrant minced meat. There's no need for a rotisserie or grill here: the skewers are assembled layer by layer, then baked in the oven for a melt-in-your-mouth, flavorful result, with a nice dose of spices and fresh herbs. It's simple to prepare, impressive when sliced, and the perfect change from traditional koftas or burgers. Serve with a salad or a lemony yoghurt sauce;)

FAQ ❓

Can I replace ground beef with another meat or vegetarian option?

Yes, you can replace the beef with ground chicken, lamb or even vegetarian mince for a meatless version.
Coarse blending leaves chunks for a pleasant texture and prevents the stuffing from becoming too watery, which would make it harder to shape the skewers.
For even skewers, spread a thin, even layer of filling on each tortilla, then form equal-sized balls of filling before assembling and cutting.
A lemony Greek yoghurt sauce with chopped parsley, salt and pepper is ideal for bringing freshness and balance to the paprika flavors in the kebabs.
Serve with a tomato or cucumber salad, for example!
You can cook lavash kebab in the air fryer (4 min per side), but also on the barbecue or griddle.
Of course, you can make smaller kebabs with medium-sized wooden skewers (6 inches). In our recipe, one large skewer (12 inches) makes 2 servings, or 2 small skewers.
