Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 4 small flatbreads
- 1 pound ground lamb
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 medium cucumber, grated
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 large tomato, sliced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup cooked French fries
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
Instructions
- Heat a cast iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
- In a bowl, mix ground lamb with oregano, cumin, salt, black pepper, and olive oil until evenly combined.
- Warm each flatbread for 30 seconds per side until flexible and lightly toasted.
- Place a small ball of lamb mixture in the center of each flatbread and press flat with a spatula to form a thin layer.
- Cook 2–3 minutes per side until browned and slightly crispy.
- In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, and lemon juice to make tzatziki. Chill until ready to use.
- Spread tzatziki over the cooked lamb layer, then top with tomato slices, red onion, parsley, and fries.
- Squeeze fresh lemon over the top and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use full-fat Greek yogurt for the creamiest tzatziki.
- Warm flatbreads slightly before pressing to prevent cracking.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika to the lamb.
- Assemble right before serving to keep fries crispy.
- Leftovers can be stored separately and reheated before assembling.
