  9. Stir well until all the ingredients are mixed thoroughly.
  10. Set aside.
  11. Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat.
  12. Once hot, place the marinated lamb pieces on it.
  13. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, ensuring it's perfectly cooked but remains juicy.
  14. Warm up the tortilla wraps for about a minute on each side on the grill.
  15. Assemble your Lamb souvlaki wraps:

Notes

1. Marinating the lamb for a longer duration, say overnight, enhances its flavor.
2. Consider adding some red onion slices or bell peppers for an extra crunch in your Lamb souvlaki wraps.
3. For those who prefer a kick, a sprinkle of chili flakes on the wrap can spice things up.
4. If you're dairy-free, swap out the Greek yogurt for a dairy-free alternative.
