Lamb and Tzatziki Lettuce Wraps
Lamb and Tzatziki Lettuce Wraps
Ingredients:
Tzatziki
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- ½ English cucumber, finely shredded and excess water squeezed out
- 3 garlic cloves, smashed and minced
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp red wine vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
- 1 Tbsp fresh dill, minced (or 1 tsp dried dill)
- Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
Lamb
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb ground lamb
- 1 yellow onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp turmeric
- ½ cup chopped fresh herbs (we used parsley, cilantro, and oregano)
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 head butter lettuce
- ½ English cucumber, chopped
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, chopped
- 1 oz feta cheese, crumbled
Instructions:
- Mix all tzatziki ingredients in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to mingle.
- Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add onions and a pinch of salt. Cook until beginning to turn translucent, add garlic and cook for an additional minute. Add lamb, chili powder, paprika, and turmeric. Break apart with a wooden spoon and cook for about 7-9 minutes, or until lamb is cooked through.
- Remove lamb from heat and stir in lemon juice, vinegar, and season with salt and pepper. Stir in fresh herbs and allow to cool slightly.
- To assemble wraps, stack 2 leaves of lettuce and pile with lamb, chopped cucumber, tomatoes, and feta. Drizzle with tzatziki and enjoy!
