Instructions
- To make the lamb sausage filling, remove the Merguez sausage meat from the casings. Heat a large cast-iron skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add the lamb sausage meat and break it apart into little bits using a wooden spatula or spoon. Cook for 5 minutes until lightly browned and drain any excess fat.4 lamb sausages

- Fold in the sides and tightly roll up the tortillas, starting from the bottom edge. Cut the wraps in half and serve immediately.
Notes
Drain excess fat: Drain the cooked lamb sausage to prevent soggy wraps.
Don't overfill: Avoid overfilling the wraps for easy rolling and eating.
Serve fresh: Wraps are best served immediately, but the lamb sausage and lemon yogurt sauce can be prepped in advance.
Storage: You can meal prep all ingredients ahead and put the lamb wrap together in 5 minutes flat. I don't recommend making them more than 3 hours in advanced as the salad will become soggy.
