Lahmacun - Turkish Flatbread with Sauce

This man is selling Turkish Lahmacun. (Turkish images by Babazar.)
It is enjoyed as an afternoon snack in outdoor eateries.
Lahmacun is a thin Turkish flatbread roasted with meat (usually lamb), a few vegetables, and seasonings - similar to our pizza, but without any embellishment - I made these yesterday.
The topping is mashed very thin on the flatbread, giving only a hint of substance.
Once baked, they are rolled around crisp vegetables drenched with fresh lemon and a spicy tomato sauce, then sprinkled with sumac.
