Easy Greek Lamb Wraps Recipe
I’ve been craving a lamb wrap all month and when I saw Target had lamb on sale for $6.99 I knew God loved me. Greek lamb wraps (gyros, pitas, whatever you prefer to call them) are so easy to make and are great for picnics or lunches when you wanna take something different.
It’s all about the heavily seasoned lamb and cool cucumber sauce that makes this wrap so divine. (homemade cucumber sauce recipe coming up because I really didn’t like the store-bought one)

Homemade tzatziki sauce is very simple to make and tastes so much better than any I have had pre-made in a store. Just Google for a recipe. I also like that I can cut the recipe in half so I don’t have a large quantity for just myself and my husband.
I was able to find Greek yogurt sauce at Smith’s. Although I do have the recipe, I think that the homemade version would taste better than store brand, unless if you’re hungry, and extremely impatient. Lol.
Hi do think Walmart perhaps sell the cucumber sauce
Gyro (Ji-row; Ghee-row, rhyhms with key) is the correct name; and it sounds a little more appealing. Saying “lamb” wraps may turn some appetities off, and they wouldn’t enjoy my favorite wrap.
Actually the term gyro refers to the way that the meat is cooked (on a vertical rotisserie). Since this meat is not cooked that way, it is not a gyro. Also, if the name lamb wrap turns your appetite off, I would think that you wouldn’t be eating lamb at all.. It is what it is no matter what you call it lol.
this looks delicious Mo. will you make these for me?lol
Where can you find cucumber sauce?
Trader Joe’s sells it. It is called Tzatziki sause
