Directions: Souvlaki Lamb Wraps Recipe

Cooking Directions

  • STEP 1.In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
  • STEP 2.Add the lamb cubes to the marinade and toss to coat. Let it marinate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
  • STEP 3.Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Thread the marinated lamb onto skewers and grill for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked to your desired doneness.
  • STEP 4.While the lamb is grilling, prepare the tzatziki sauce by combining Greek yogurt, cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • STEP 5.Warm the pita bread in a toaster or on the grill for a few seconds on each side.
  • STEP 6.To assemble the wraps, spread a generous amount of tzatziki sauce on each pita bread. Top with grilled lamb, sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, and fresh herbs like parsley or mint.
  • STEP 7.Fold the sides of the pita bread over the filling and roll it up tightly. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
  • STEP 8.Serve the souvlaki lamb wraps immediately and enjoy!

Cooking Tips

  • For extra flavor, you can add some chopped red onion and bell peppers to the marinade.
  • If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before threading the lamb to prevent them from burning on the grill.
  • Feel free to customize the toppings to your liking. You can add feta cheese, olives, or even some hot sauce for an extra kick.
  • If you don't have a grill or grill pan, you can also cook the lamb in a hot skillet or under the broiler.
  • To make it a complete meal, serve the souvlaki lamb wraps with a side of Greek salad or roasted potatoes.

Storage and Serving

  • These souvlaki lamb wraps are best enjoyed immediately while the pita bread is still warm and the lamb is freshly grilled.
  • If you have any leftovers, you can store the grilled lamb and tzatziki sauce separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • When ready to serve the leftovers, reheat the lamb in a skillet or microwave until warmed through. Assemble the wraps with fresh pita bread and toppings.
  • You can also freeze the cooked lamb for up to 2 months. Thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before reheating and assembling the wraps.
