How to Make Mediterranean Lamb Flatbread Wrap
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the ground lamb, garlic, cumin, oregano, paprika, salt and black pepper.
Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, breaking the meat apart as it cooks, until browned and slightly crispy around the edges.
Meanwhile, blend the goat cheese, cream or Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice and a pinch of salt until smooth and fluffy.
In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, gently warm the honey and stir in the chilli flakes or hot sauce.
Warm the flatbreads in a dry skillet or oven until soft and pliable.
Spread a generous layer of whipped goat cheese over each flatbread.
Top with the cooked lamb, arugula, tomato slices, cucumber and red onion.
Drizzle generously with the hot honey.
Add fresh herbs, crumbled feta or pickled onions if desired.
Roll the flatbreads tightly, slice in half and serve immediately.
Serving Suggestions
Serve with roasted potatoes, Greek salad, hummus, tzatziki, roasted vegetables or crispy sweet potato fries. Lemon wedges on the side add an extra burst of freshness.
Expert Tips
Cook the lamb until lightly crispy for the best flavour. Blend the goat cheese until completely smooth for a restaurant-quality texture. Warm the flatbread just before assembling to prevent cracking. Add the vegetables at the last minute to keep them crisp.
Storage
Store the lamb separately from the vegetables and flatbread in airtight containers for up to 3 days. Reheat the lamb before assembling fresh wraps. The whipped goat cheese can also be refrigerated for up to 4 days.
