Ingredients

• 500 grams Lamb shoulder
• 50 ml Olive oil
• 30 ml Lemon juice
• 3 units Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Cucumber, diced
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.5 unit Red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
• 200 grams Full-fat Greek yogurt
• 4 units Keto flatbreads
• 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the marinade for the lamb. In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Cut the lamb shoulder into strips and place them into a large resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the lamb, seal the bag, and massage the marinade into the meat. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or ideally overnight for best results.

Step 3

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the lamb from the marinade and grill for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until nicely charred and cooked to your liking.

Step 4

While the lamb is grilling, prepare the tzatziki sauce by mixing the Greek yogurt, diced cucumber, remaining garlic, and fresh dill in a bowl. Season with a bit of salt and set aside.

Step 5

Once the lamb is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin pieces.

Step 6

Warm the keto flatbreads on the grill for about a minute on each side.

Step 7

Assemble the yiros by layering the sliced lamb, cherry tomatoes, red onion slices, and a generous spoonful of tzatziki sauce on each flatbread.

Step 8

Sprinkle with fresh mint leaves, wrap the flatbread around the filling, and serve immediately.
