Ingredients
 
 

Lamb Mince Filling

  • Tasty minced meat isolated on white background500 grams ground lamb (minced lamb) - Preferably grass-fed for optimal flavor
  • Glass bowl of olive oil isolated on white background1 tablespoon olive oil - Extra virgin
  • Ripe yellow onion on a white background1 small onion - Finely chopped
  • garlic2 cloves garlic - Minced
  • ground cumin1 teaspoon cumin
  • Heap of dried coriander seed and ground coriander on white background1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • Pile of red paprika powder1 teaspoon paprika
  • Heap of ground cinnamon and cassia cinnamon sticks½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • wooden bowl of salt1 teaspoon salt - To taste
  • Ground black pepper pile, paths, top½ teaspoon ground black pepper - Freshly ground

Additional Ingredients

  •  
    4 pieces flatbreads - Freshly made or store-bought
  •  
    1 cup lettuce - Shredded
  • tomatoes1 large tomato - Sliced
  • A bowl and crostini with tzatziki sause½ cup tzatziki sauce - To drizzle

Instructions
 

  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it turns translucent, releasing its sweetness, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the minced garlic to the onions and continue to sauté for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Introduce the lamb mince into the skillet. Cook, breaking any clumps with a wooden spoon, until the meat browns evenly—approximately 10 minutes.
  • Sprinkle in the ground cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine fully, allowing the spices to infuse with the meat for another 3 minutes.
  • Warm the flatbreads briefly on a pan or in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 2-3 minutes, ensuring they remain pliable for wrapping.
  • Assemble the wraps by placing a generous scoop of the spiced lamb onto each flatbread. Top with shredded lettuce, tomato slices, and a drizzle of tzatziki.
  • Fold in the sides of the flatbread and roll tightly to enclose the filling. Serve immediately for best flavor and texture.

Notes

For an enhanced smoky flavor, consider grilling the lamb briefly over high heat before wrapping.
