Ingredients

• 1 lb lamb leg, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
• 1/2 cup cucumber, finely grated and drained
• 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 clove garlic clove, minced (for tzatziki)
• 4 pieces warm pita breads
• 1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 1 lb thinly sliced lamb leg, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp ground cumin, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Mix well and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2. Step 2: While the lamb marinates, prepare the tzatziki by mixing 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup finely grated and drained cucumber, 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 1 minced garlic clove in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
3. Step 3: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the marinated lamb slices for 3-4 minutes per side until nicely charred and cooked through.
4. Step 4: Warm 4 pita breads on the grill for about 1 minute per side until soft and pliable.
5. Step 5: To assemble each wrap, spread 2 tbsp of tzatziki over one warm pita, then layer with about 1/4 of the grilled lamb, 2-3 slices of tomato, 1 tbsp thinly sliced red onion, and sprinkle with 1/2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley. Fold and serve immediately.
