Ingredients

• 500 grams lamb shoulder
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 4 units garlic cloves, minced
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 units gluten-free flatbreads
• 1 unit tomato, sliced
• 0.5 units red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.5 units cucumber, thinly sliced
• 100 grams feta cheese, crumbled
• 0.25 cup mint leaves
• 250 grams plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Cut the lamb shoulder into thin strips and add them to the marinade. Toss well to evenly coat the lamb, then cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

Step 3

Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the marinated lamb strips and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.

Step 4

Meanwhile, prepare the toppings. Slice the tomato and cucumber, thinly slice the red onion, and crumble the feta cheese.

Step 5

To assemble the yiros, warm the gluten-free flatbreads on a dry pan for 1-2 minutes on each side or in the microwave for 20 seconds each.

Step 6

Spread a generous amount of Greek yogurt over each flatbread, and sprinkle with fresh dill.

Step 7

Divide the cooked lamb evenly among the flatbreads. Top with sliced tomato, cucumber, red onion, crumbled feta cheese, and mint leaves.

Step 8

Fold the flatbreads around the filling and secure with foil or parchment paper. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious gluten-free lamb yiros.
