Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Then, add the minced garlic and continue to cook for another minute, letting the aromas develop.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the pork mince. Stir well to break up the meat, cooking until browned, approximately 8 minutes. Make sure there are no pink bits left.
Stir in the ground cumin and smoked paprika. Let them bloom for a minute, enhancing their flavors, before adding the tomato puree. Lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken slightly.
Meanwhile, warm the flatbreads in the oven at 180°C (350°F) until soft and pliable, about 5 minutes.
To assemble, spoon the pork mixture generously onto each flatbread. Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and chopped fresh coriander. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes
For a spicier kick, try adding a pinch of chili flakes to the pork mixture. If you're short on time, store-bought flatbread works well, but a homemade version adds a personal touch.
