Ingredients

• 1 lb ground lamb
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 4 pieces flour tortillas (large)
• 0.5 cup tzatziki sauce
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.5 cup cucumber, diced
• 0.25 cup red onion, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 1 cup romaine lettuce, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, ground cumin, ground coriander, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the spices are evenly distributed.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the spiced lamb mixture and cook, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat and set the cooked lamb aside.

Step 3

Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side, or until pliable. Alternatively, wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for 15-20 seconds.

Step 4

To assemble each Gyro Burrito, spread approximately 2 tablespoons of tzatziki sauce in the center of a tortilla.

Step 5

Add a layer of the cooked lamb, followed by a handful of halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, thinly sliced red onion, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped romaine lettuce.

Step 6

Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it tightly from the bottom to form a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and fillings.

Step 7

Slice each burrito in half if desired and serve with extra tzatziki sauce on the side for dipping.
