Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground lamb, 1/2 lb ground beef, 2 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp ground coriander, 1 tsp paprika, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
- Step 2: Shape the meat mixture into a long, thick log about 10 inches in length. Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and brush with 1 tbsp olive oil.
- Step 3: Grill the meat log for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and the exterior is nicely charred. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes, then thinly slice.
- Step 4: While the meat cooks, prepare the yogurt sauce by mixing 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill, and 1/2 cup diced cucumber in a small bowl. Stir until combined and set aside.
- Step 5: Warm 4 flatbreads or pita breads on the grill for 1-2 minutes until pliable. Brush each with 1 tbsp olive oil.
- Step 6: Assemble the wraps by spreading 2-3 tbsp of the yogurt sauce on each flatbread, layering sliced grilled meat, 1/4 sliced tomato, and 1/4 sliced red onion evenly across them.
- Step 7: Fold the flatbreads over the filling and serve immediately while warm and juicy.
