Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the red bell pepper, red onion, and garlic cloves.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, chopped red bell pepper, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, parsley, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

Mix well using your hands to ensure all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 4

Divide the mixture into eight equal portions and shape them into elongated patties about 10-12 cm long.

Step 5

Preheat a grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Grill the kebabs for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and have a nice char on the outside.

Step 7

While the kebabs are grilling, prepare the vegetables: thinly slice the cucumber and tomatoes, and wash the lettuce leaves.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with lemon juice, and set aside as a tangy sauce.

Step 9

Warm the pita breads on the grill for about 1 minute on each side.

Step 10

To assemble the wraps, place a lettuce leaf in the center of each pita bread.

Step 11

Add a few slices of cucumber and tomato on top of the lettuce.

Step 12

Place two grilled kebabs on the vegetables and drizzle with the yogurt-lemon sauce.

Step 13

Wrap the pita tightly around the filling and serve immediately.
