Ingredients Needed
- 500g lamb, cut into cubes
- 4 large tortillas
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cucumber, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs like parsley or mint for garnish
Preparing the Lamb Kebabs
Start by marinating the lamb cubes with olive oil, cumin, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors. Then, thread the lamb pieces onto skewers.
Grill the skewers over medium-high heat for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until the lamb is cooked to your desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes.
Making the Tzatziki Sauce
While the lamb is grilling, prepare the tzatziki. Combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, and chopped herbs in a bowl. Mix well and season with salt and pepper. Chill until ready to serve.
Assembling the Wraps
Warm the tortillas slightly to make them pliable. Spread a generous spoonful of tzatziki on each tortilla. Add the grilled lamb kebabs on top, then garnish with fresh herbs. Roll up tightly to serve.
This dish offers a delightful blend of smoky lamb, creamy tzatziki, and soft tortillas, creating a Middle Eastern-inspired feast that’s easy to prepare and perfect for sharing.
