Step-by-step instructions:
1. In a large bowl, mix together the ground lamb, salt, black pepper, cumin, coriander, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, olive oil, and red wine vinegar. Mix well until all the ingredients are well combined.
2. Divide the lamb mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a log shape around a skewer.
3. Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the lamb skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and browned on all sides.
4. While the lamb is cooking, prepare the yogurt sauce by mixing together the Greek yogurt, chopped parsley, and chopped mint in a small bowl.
5. Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave or on a skillet.
6. Once the lamb is cooked, remove the skewers and slice the meat into thin strips.
7. To assemble the wrap, spread a spoonful of the yogurt sauce onto each tortilla. Add a few strips of lamb, diced tomatoes, diced red onion, diced cucumber, crumbled feta cheese, and sliced Kalamata olives.
8. Roll up the tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides as you go.
9. Serve the Spicy Doner Kebab Wraps immediately.
