Ingredients
  

  • Cooking spray

  • 1/2 a cucumber seeded, peeled, and finely chopped
  • 1/2 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
  • the juice from 1/2 a lemon
  • tap here
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 garlic clove finely minced

Instructions
 

  • Heat a saute pan sprayed with cooking spray over medium high heat. While the pan is heating up, chop your onion and remove the lamb from the casing. Note: I used lamb sausage because my butcher was out of ground lamb. It was seasoned with some salt, pepper, and parsley, so nothing too crazy.
  • Add the lamb and onion to the saute pan. and cook for 8 minutes, breaking up the lamb with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
  • Make the tzatziki sauce while the lamb is cooking. Combine the Greek yogurt, cucumber, mint, lemon juice, salt, and garlic.
  • Cook until the lamb is browned. Drain and season with salt and pepper.
  • Quickly grill the flat bread if you’d like. Add the lettuce evenly to each flat bread.
  • Add lamb mixture.
  • Drizzle with the Tzatziki sauce.
