Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a bowl, mix 1 lb ground lamb with 1 grated small onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until well combined.
2. Step 2: Spread the lamb mixture evenly on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper, drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil over the top, and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes until cooked through and browned.
3. Step 3: While lamb cooks, make garlic yogurt sauce by combining 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 minced garlic clove, and 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice in a small bowl. Stir and refrigerate.
4. Step 4: Once lamb is done, slice or crumble it into bite-size pieces. To assemble each wrap, place generous lamb portions on warmed pita bread, top with diced 1/2 cucumber, 1 sliced tomato, 1/4 thinly sliced red onion, and spoon over 2 tbsp garlic yogurt sauce. Roll up and serve immediately.
