Instructions
Prepare Souvlaki Marinade
- 1In a bowl, combine chopped rosemary, chopped mint, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
- 2Add the lamb cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
Make Mint Tzatziki
- 1In a medium bowl, combine the grated and squeezed cucumber, Greek yogurt, finely chopped mint, minced garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt.

Cook the Lamb
- 1Preheat your grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat.
- 2Thread the marinated lamb onto skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes prior to prevent burning).
- 3Grill the lamb skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness.
Assemble the Wraps
- 1Warm the pita bread slightly. You can do this in a dry skillet, in the oven, or microwave.
- 2Spread a generous amount of mint tzatziki onto each warm pita.
- 3Top with shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion.
- 4Place the cooked lamb souvlaki onto the filling.
