In a small bowl, combine the textured vegetable protein and hot water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until tender, then press the mince firmly into a fine-mesh sieve to remove all excess liquid.
Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic, cumin, and smoked paprika, and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the squeezed mince to the skillet with the soy sauce and about two-thirds of the salt. Spread it in an even layer and cook undisturbed for 2 minutes to brown, then stir and cook for 3 minutes more. Done when lightly browned and heated through.
While the mince browns, whisk the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and the remaining salt in a small bowl until smooth.
Lay the lettuce leaves on a plate. Spoon the spiced mince into the center of each leaf and top with the tomatoes and cucumber. Finish by drizzling the yogurt sauce over the top.
