Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure the kofta browns nicely rather than steams. Cook in batches if necessary.

While the kofta cooks, prepare the tzatziki sauce. In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, chopped fresh dill, lemon juice, garlic powder, and 1/4 tsp salt. Stir until smooth.

Massaging the sumac into the onions slightly can help release their flavor and soften them.

Warm the tortillas according to package instructions. Spread a layer of tzatziki sauce on each warm tortilla, then add a spoonful of the cooked kofta. Top with the sumac onion salad and a drizzle of the spicy sauce. Roll up tightly and serve immediately.
