Ingredients and substitutions
See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
- Tortillas – I use large wholemeal flour tortillas as they’re easy to fold without ripping. You can use regular flour tortillas or make a lamb lettuce wrap as well.
- Lamb – I love using lamb sausages, Merguez in particular as they come with some heat already. Any sausage including chorizo will work for these wraps. Leftover lamb roast such as a roasted leg of lamb makes a delicious filling too.
- Vegetables – A lettuce mix, slaw, or red cabbage salad add color and texture.
- Lemon yogurt sauce – I make a quick and easy Greek yogurt sauce using my Instant Pot yogurt by mixing it with water for a thinner consistency, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. The yogurt balances the heat of the wrap.
- Spice – Hot sauce and jalapeño give the lamb sausage wraps extra spice. I use Sriracha but any hot sauce will do.
- Mint – A classic lamb flavor combination, mint works well with lamb and adds extra freshness to the easy lunch wrap.
