Description

Spicy Cumin Lamb Wraps are a flavorful and satisfying dish featuring seasoned ground lamb wrapped in tortillas with fresh vegetables and yogurt.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground lamb
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped
  • 4 large flour tortillas or wraps
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup mixed greens (like arugula, spinach, or lettuce)
  • 1 medium tomato, diced
  • 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  2. Add the ground lamb to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until the lamb is browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
  3. Sprinkle the ground cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper over the lamb mixture. Stir well to combine and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the spices to meld together. Remove from heat and fold in the chopped cilantro and mint.
  4. Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable. Lay each tortilla flat and spread a generous dollop of Greek yogurt in the center.
  5. Spoon the spicy lamb mixture onto the yogurt, then top with mixed greens, diced tomato, and sliced cucumber.
  6. Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top, creating a wrap.
  7. Slice the wraps in half diagonally and serve immediately, or wrap them in foil for a delicious on-the-go meal. Enjoy the burst of flavors in every bite!

Notes

  • Adjust the level of cayenne pepper to suit your spice preference.
  • These wraps can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for a quick meal.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables or toppings as desired.
