Ingredients

1 pound ground lamb (lean)
2 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin)
0.5 yellow onion (finely chopped)
2 clove garlic (minced)
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper (ground)
0.5 cup hummus
3 pita breads
2 Roma tomatoes (diced)
0.5 English cucumber (diced)
0.25 red onion (thinly sliced)
2 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground lamb and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Add the chopped yellow onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the lamb. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the dried oregano, ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
While the lamb cooks, prepare the chopped salad: In a medium bowl, combine the diced Roma tomatoes, diced English cucumber, thinly sliced red onion, chopped fresh parsley, and lemon juice. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toss to combine.
Warm the pita bread according to package directions, either in a dry skillet, microwave, or oven.
To assemble the wraps, spread a generous spoonful of hummus onto each warm pita. Top with the spiced lamb mixture and a spoonful of the fresh chopped salad. Fold or roll up and serve immediately.

Notes

Any leftover lamb mixture and salad can be stored separately in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reassembled for quick lunches.
