Grilled Meat Skewer Wrap (High-Protein)
A grilled lamb skewer wrap layers cumin-and-sumac-marinated lamb chunks charred over high heat with warm flatbread, tangy garlic yogurt, crumbled feta, and crisp vegetables. Extra chickpeas and yogurt push the protein well past a typical shawarma wrap while keeping the smoky char-grilled Middle Eastern flavour profile intact.

Instructions
1
Prep
Cut the lamb leg into 1-inch cubes. Mince the garlic and whisk with lemon juice, olive oil, cumin, sumac, smoked paprika, salt and pepper in a bowl.
2
Marinate
Thread lamb cubes onto a skewer and coat with the marinade. Chill 30 minutes.
3
Char
Grill the skewer over high heat 8 to 10 minutes, turning every 2 to 3 minutes, until the lamb is charred and firm but still faintly pink inside.
4
Finish
Warm the chickpeas in a small pan over medium heat with a splash of water for 2 minutes. Warm the pita in a dry skillet over medium heat 30 to 45 seconds per side until lightly speckled.
5
Build
Spread yogurt on the warm pita. Slide the lamb onto the center, then scatter the warm chickpeas, tomato slices, cucumber slices, arugula, thinly sliced red onion, feta and chopped parsley across the top. Fold the sides over the filling and roll tightly while the lamb is still hot, then slice the wrap in half diagonally and plate cut sides facing up.
