Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Lean lamb loin
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Whole grain wraps
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 10 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 0.25 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 0.5 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 cups Mixed salad greens
Instructions
Thinly slice the lamb loin into strips. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a bowl, combine lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
Add the lamb strips to the marinade and toss to coat. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
While the lamb is marinating, prepare the vegetables: slice the cucumber into thin rounds, halve the cherry tomatoes, and thinly slice the red onion.
Chop the fresh mint leaves and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with Dijon mustard to make a sauce.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated lamb strips and cook for 4-5 minutes until browned and cooked through.
Warm the whole grain wraps in a dry skillet for 30 seconds on each side or until pliable.
Assemble the wraps by spreading a spoonful of the yogurt mustard sauce onto each wrap.
Layer mixed salad greens, cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes, and red onion on top of the sauce.
Place cooked lamb strips on the vegetables, and sprinkle the fresh mint leaves over.
Roll the wrap tightly and slice in half if desired. Serve immediately.
