Ingredients
- 500 grams lamb shoulder
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pita breads
- 1 cup tzatziki sauce
- 2 tomatoes, sliced
- 1 red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 cucumber, thinly sliced

Instructions
1. Cut the lamb shoulder into 1-inch cubes and place them in a large bowl.
2. In a separate bowl, combine olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
3. Pour the marinade over the lamb cubes, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.
4. While the lamb is marinating, prepare the vegetables: slice the tomatoes, onion, cucumber, and red bell pepper. Set aside.
5. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
6. Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto skewers.
7. Grill the lamb skewers for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is cooked through and has a nice charred appearance.
8. Remove lamb from the grill and allow it to rest for a few minutes.
9. Warm the pita breads on the grill for about 1 minute per side or until soft and pliable.
10. Assemble the wraps by spreading some tzatziki sauce over each pita.
11. Arrange slices of tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and red bell pepper on top of the sauce.
12. Remove lamb from skewers and place a few pieces on each pita.
13. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the lamb and vegetables.
14. Fold the pita over the filling to form a wrap and serve immediately.
