Time 26m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 pound ground lamb
1 shallot, finely chopped
3 tablespoons finely chopped mint
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground coriander
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon adobo seasoning
1 (5.3 ounce) container fat-free Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons tahini
1 tablespoon lemon juice
4 pita bread rounds
1 tomato, chopped
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
½ cup shredded lettuce

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Mix lamb, shallot, mint, paprika, cumin, salt, coriander, cinnamon, black pepper, and adobo together gently in a bowl. Form lamb mixture into 8 cylinders approximately 1x3 inches in size, using about 3 tablespoons of mixture per cylinder.
  • Reduce grill heat to medium; transfer lamb to grill and cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 3 to 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from grill.
  • Mix yogurt, tahini, and lemon juice together in a bowl until sauce is uniform.
  • Spread 1/4 of the yogurt sauce down the middle of each pita; top with lamb, tomato, feta cheese, and lettuce.

I love the combination of flavors in this sandwich. The lamb is tender and flavorful, the tzatziki sauce is creamy and tangy, and the vegetables add a nice crunch.

I love that this recipe is customizable. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your own taste. For example, I like to add a bit of feta cheese to my sandwiches.

This sandwich is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I usually add whatever vegetables I have on hand, such as zucchini, peppers, and onions.

I've made this recipe with both lamb and beef, and both versions are delicious. The lamb is a bit more flavorful, but the beef is a good option if you're on a budget.

I'm not a huge fan of lamb, but I really enjoyed this sandwich. The tzatziki sauce helped to balance out the gaminess of the lamb.

This sandwich is a great way to use up leftover lamb. I usually make a big batch of lamb chops on the weekend and then use the leftovers to make these sandwiches during the week.
