Lamb Souvlaki Wraps (that kids will love!)


Today in Melbourne it is expected to reach 40 °C (104 °F), not really the day to be cooking a roast as I had planned. A quick look in the fridge to see what else I will be able to cook and luckily I had the ingredients for a perfect meal for a hot day – Lamb Souvlaki Wraps!

I have posted the homemade seasoning I use for Lamb Souvlaki before, but not the entire recipe, so thought I would share it today, inspiration if you too are looking for an easy summer recipe.

Lamb Souvlaki Wraps

Ingredients:

  • 1.25 tablespoons dried oregano
