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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Spoon the spicy lamb mixture onto the yogurt, then top with mixed greens, diced tomato, and sliced cucumber.
- Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top, creating a wrap.
- 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.
