Greek Lamb Wrap

This Greek Lamb Wrap is one of my favorite low-carb meals, especially when I’m looking for something quick, healthy, and satisfying. Lamb is a fantastic choice of meat—it’s lean, packed with protein, and loaded with essential nutrients like iron and zinc to support overall health. Combined with a refreshing Greek salad and wrapped in crisp lettuce, this dish is a perfect balance of flavor and nutrition.

Ingredients:

For the Lamb:

• 500g lamb, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon beef tallow (or olive oil)

For the Greek Salad:

• 2 tomatoes, diced
• 1 cucumber, diced
• 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon vinegar
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano

For the Wrap:

• Lettuce leaves (large, for wrapping)
• Tzatziki sauce (optional, for serving)

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Lamb:
   • In a bowl, combine the lamb, minced garlic, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavors.
2. Cook the Lamb:
   • Heat a skillet over high heat and add the beef tallow.
   • Once hot, add the lamb and cook for 5-8 minutes, stirring frequently, until it becomes crispy and fully cooked.
   • Sprinkle in the cinnamon and paprika, stirring well to coat the lamb evenly with the spices around 3 minutes after placing the lamb in the skillet.
3. Prepare the Greek Salad:
   • In a separate bowl, combine the diced tomatoes, cucumber, and crumbled feta cheese.
   • Drizzle with olive oil and vinegar, then sprinkle with dried oregano. Toss gently to mix.
4. Assemble the Wraps:
   • Lay out the lettuce leaves and fill them with a spoonful of the Greek salad.
   • Add a generous portion of the cooked lamb on top.
   • Optionally, drizzle with tzatziki sauce for added creaminess.
5. Serve:
   • Wrap the lettuce around the filling and serve immediately. These wraps are best enjoyed fresh and warm.
