Slice the lean beef sirloin into thin strips. Place the beef in a bowl and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together ground cumin, coriander, paprika, allspice, turmeric, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and lemon juice to the spice mixture and combine well.
Pour the marinade over the beef strips and stir to coat the meat evenly. Marinate for at least 15 minutes in the refrigerator.
While the beef is marinating, prepare the vegetables: thinly slice the cucumber, tomatoes, lettuce, and red onion. Set aside.
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the marinated beef strips to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and cooked through.
Remove the skillet from heat and set the beef aside to rest for a few minutes.
Warm the whole grain wraps on a skillet or microwave to make them pliable.
To assemble each wrap, spread a tablespoon of low-fat Greek yogurt onto the center of the wrap.
Layer the cooked beef strips, sliced vegetables, and lettuce on the yogurt.
Fold the sides of the wrap over the filling, then roll it tightly from the bottom up.
Serve the shawarma wraps immediately while warm, accompanied by extra Greek yogurt if desired.
