Editors Review
What’s a good lunch after a hot, hot summer day? These easy Greek-style lamb gyros with grilled lamb crunchy cool veggies like red onion, cucumber and tomato and fresh zingy flavors of the Mediterranean. These lamb wraps have all that and more. The taste of the charred, marinated meat and the cool cucumber-yogurt sauce work really well together. It makes for a quick and light yet satisfying lunch and are great for picnics or lunches when you want to take something different.Chef
