Ingredients with Measurements:
- 1 pound ground lamb
- 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh mint
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup hummus
- 1/2 cup tzatziki sauce
- 1/2 cup chopped cucumber
- 1/2 cup chopped tomato

Special equipment needed:
- Skewers (if grilling)
Step-by-step instructions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, onion, parsley, mint, garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
2. Divide the lamb mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a long, thin sausage shape.
3. If grilling, thread each sausage shape onto a skewer. Grill over medium-high heat for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through.
4. If cooking in a pan, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage shapes and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through.
5. Warm the tortillas in the microwave or on a griddle.
6. To assemble the wraps, spread 2 tablespoons of hummus and 2 tablespoons of tzatziki sauce onto each tortilla.
7. Top each tortilla with a cooked lamb sausage shape, chopped cucumber, chopped tomato, and crumbled feta cheese.
8. Roll up the tortillas tightly, tucking in the ends as you go.
9. Serve immediately.
