Perfect for a balanced lunch or dinner, this nutrient-packed dish is a delightful way to enjoy the authentic taste of Adana kebab without compromising on health goals.
Finely chop the red bell pepper, onion, and parsley, and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meat with chopped red bell pepper, onion, garlic, ground cumin, paprika, red pepper flakes, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions. Mould each portion onto a skewer to form a long, thin kebab shape. If you don't have skewers, shape them into oval patties.
Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates or a non-stick baking sheet to prevent sticking.
Grill the kebabs for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are fully cooked and slightly charred on the outside.
While the kebabs are cooking, slice the tomato and prepare the lettuce leaves for the wraps.
In a small bowl, mix the low-fat yogurt with lemon juice to create a tangy dressing.
To assemble the wrap, lay a whole wheat wrap on a clean surface. Place a lettuce leaf and a few tomato slices on the wrap.
Add one kebab on top of the vegetables, then drizzle with the yogurt dressing.
Roll the wrap tightly, folding in the edges as you go, to enclose the filling.
Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make four wraps in total.
Serve immediately while the kebabs are warm for best flavor.
