• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 4 large Whole grain wraps
• 1 medium Cucumber, thinly sliced

• 0.5 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
• 100 grams Baby spinach leaves
• 200 grams Low-fat Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Mint leaves, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Cut the lean lamb into 1-inch cubes and place in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, ground black pepper, and salt.

Step 3

Pour the marinade over the lamb cubes and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Step 4

Preheat a grill or grilling pan over medium-high heat. Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto metal or soaked wooden skewers.

Step 5

Grill the lamb skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until the lamb is cooked through and slightly charred on the edges.

Step 6

While the lamb is grilling, prepare the vegetables and toppings. Thinly slice the cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion. Set them aside.

Step 7

Warm the whole grain wraps in a dry skillet or the microwave for a few seconds until pliable.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the low-fat Greek yogurt with the chopped fresh dill and mint leaves to create a refreshing herb yogurt sauce.

Step 9

To assemble each wrap, place a handful of baby spinach on the center of the wrap. Add slices of cucumber, tomato, and red onion on top.

Step 10

Remove the lamb from the skewers and distribute evenly onto each wrap.

Step 11

Drizzle with the herb yogurt sauce and fold the wraps to enclose the filling.

Step 12

Secure with a toothpick if necessary and serve immediately. Enjoy your heart-healthy lamb souvlaki wraps!
