Grind the sesame seeds in a powerful blender about 3 minutes, until smooth paste forms.
Blender
💡At first the sesame looks like dry crumbs: keep grinding, scraping down the sides, and after a few minutes it releases its oil and turns liquid.
💡In a food processor, grind in short pulses and check between pulses: it's easy to go from coarse to paste. (Sesame for tahini, on the other hand, is ground continuously.)

Taste and adjust the seasoning.

Spread in the gluten-free bread the tahini, arrange in it the shawarma and the tomatoes and cucumber, roll up and serve immediately.
