Ingredients

4 servings
Egg1 large
Cumin1/2 tsp
Salt3/4 tsp
Olive oil2 tbsp
Cucumber1 medium
Roma tomato2 medium
Red onion1/4 medium
Tahini1/4 cup

Method

1

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground lamb, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined; do not overwork.

2

Form the mixture into 8 golf-ball-sized meatballs. Set aside on a plate.

3

Dice the cucumber, tomatoes, and red onion. Chop the parsley. Set vegetables in separate bowls.

4

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add meatballs and cook undisturbed for 3–4 minutes until the bottom is golden.

5

Roll each meatball to brown the other side, then continue cooking 3–4 minutes more until golden on all sides and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 160°F (71°C). Transfer to a clean plate.

6

Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or directly over a gas flame for 15–20 seconds per side until soft and pliable.

7

Lay each warm tortilla on a flat surface. Spread 1 tbsp tahini-lemon sauce down the center of each. Top with 2 meatballs, then divide the cucumber, tomato, red onion, and fresh parsley evenly among the wraps.

8

Fold the bottom of each tortilla up, then fold in the sides and roll tightly into a wrap. Serve immediately while warm.
