Ingredients

• 1 lb ground lamb
• 1 small, finely diced onion
• 2, minced garlic cloves
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup, chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
• 1/2, finely diced cucumber
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 4 flatbread wraps
• 1 medium, thinly sliced tomato
• 1/2 small, thinly sliced red onion
• 1 cup mixed greens

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground lamb, 1 small finely diced onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp ground coriander, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined.
2. Step 2: Shape the mixture into 16 small meatballs, about 1 inch each. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook the meatballs for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through.
3. Step 3: While the meatballs cook, make the tzatziki sauce by mixing 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 1/2 finely diced cucumber, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 1/4 tsp garlic powder in a small bowl. Stir until smooth.
4. Step 4: Warm 4 flatbread wraps in a dry skillet or microwave for 30 seconds until pliable.
5. Step 5: Assemble each wrap by spreading 2 tbsp of tzatziki sauce, adding 4 lamb meatballs, 2-3 thin slices of tomato, a few slices of red onion, and a handful of mixed greens. Fold and serve immediately for a fresh Mediterranean-inspired meal.
