Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1 tomato, chopped
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 1 pound ground lamb
• ½ teaspoon ground coriander
• ½ cup shredded lettuce
• 4 pita bread rounds
• 1 shallot, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons tahini
• ¼ teaspoon adobo seasoning
• 3 tablespoons finely chopped mint
• 1 (5.3 ounce) container fat-free Greek yogurt

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.

Step 2

Mix lamb, shallot, mint, paprika, cumin, salt, coriander, cinnamon, black pepper, and adobo together gently in a bowl. Form lamb mixture into 8 cylinders approximately 1x3 inches in size, using about 3 tablespoons of mixture per cylinder.

Step 3

Reduce grill heat to medium; transfer lamb to grill and cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 3 to 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from grill.

Step 4

Mix yogurt, tahini, and lemon juice together in a bowl until sauce is uniform.

Step 5

Spread 1/4 of the yogurt sauce down the middle of each pita; top with lamb, tomato, feta cheese, and lettuce.
