Ingredients

  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons harissa
  • 1 lb ground lamb
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 4 teaspoons finely minced peeled fresh ginger
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup canned chick-peas, drained and rinsed
  • 4 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 4 large burrito-size flour tortillas, warmed
  • 10 -12 ounces spinach leaves, stems removed
  • lemon wedge

Method

  • Mix the yogurt and harissa together in a bowl; set aside.
  • Add lamb, onion, cumin, ginger, raisins, salt, and pepper to a large skillet over medium heat; Cook, stirring/breaking up the lamb with a wooden spoon, 5-7 minutes until the meat is cooked and the onions are soft.
  • Add in the chickpeas; using a potato masher, mash at least half of them right in the pan, blending them with the meat.
  • Continue to cook/stir, 1-2 minutes until they are warm; add in the lemon juice.
  • To assemble: Spread about 2 tablespoons of the spiced yogurt on a warm tortilla, leaving a 1-inch border.
  • Layer a quarter of the spinach and the lamb mixture and another 2 tablespoons spiced yogurt in a thick horizontal strip across the bottom third of the tortilla, making sure the ingredients don't quite touch the edges.
  • Fold in the two sides and roll the wrap away from you.
  • Complete the wraps with the remaining ingredients; cut in half on the bias and serve.
