Ingredients

Scale

For the Ground Lamb

  • 1 lb (450g) ground lamb
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

For the Lemon Honey Feta Cream

  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil

For the Flatbreads

  • 4 small flatbreads or pita breads
  • 1/2 cup diced cucumber
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Cook the Lamb: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add ground lamb along with cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 6–8 minutes, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked through.
  2. Prepare the Lemon Honey Feta Cream: In a small bowl, whisk together crumbled feta cheese, Greek yogurt, honey, fresh lemon juice, and olive oil until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
  3. Warm the Flatbreads: Heat the flatbreads in a dry skillet or oven until they are soft and pliable, making them easier to fold or roll in the next step.
  4. Assemble the Flatbreads: Spread a generous layer of the lemon honey feta cream over each warmed flatbread. Top with the cooked ground lamb, followed by diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, and chopped fresh parsley.
  5. Serve: Fold or roll the assembled flatbreads and serve immediately while still warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the ground lamb while cooking.
  • You can substitute ground beef or turkey for lamb if preferred.
  • Use fresh herbs like mint or dill to vary the flavor profile.
  • Flatbreads can be warmed in a toaster oven or microwave if you don’t have a skillet or oven available.
  • Leftover lamb mixture can be refrigerated for up to 2 days or frozen for longer storage.
