Heat a cast-iron grill pan or griddle over medium-high heat.
Cut the sausages lengthwise and open them out flat. Remove the casings and press the sausages down to about 1/4 inch thick. Mix the cumin and oregano in a small bowl. Rub the spice blend onto the cut side of the sausages. Brush the hot pan with oil and place the sausages in, seasoned-side down. Cook each side until browned and fully cooked, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
In a medium bowl, combine the chopped tomatoes and their juice with the lettuce. In another bowl, whisk together the yogurt, lemon juice, harissa, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until smooth.
Warm each flatbread in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds per side. Spread a layer of the yogurt sauce on each bread, then add the tomato-lettuce mixture and sausage. Serve any remaining sauce alongside.
