Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Lean lamb leg, trimmed and cubed
- 120 grams Non-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Whole wheat wraps
- 0.5 piece Cucumber, sliced

- 0.5 piece Red onion, thinly sliced

Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Add the cubed lamb leg to the marinade, mixing well to ensure all pieces are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated lamb pieces onto skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes prior to grilling).
Grill the lamb skewers for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is cooked through and lightly charred on the outside.
Warm the whole wheat wraps on the grill or in a microwave for a few seconds until pliable.
Assemble the souvlaki wraps by placing a lettuce leaf on each wrap, followed by cucumber slices, diced tomatoes, and slices of red onion.
Remove the lamb from the skewers and divide among the wraps. Top with a generous spoonful of low-fat Tzatziki sauce.
Fold the wraps and serve immediately.
