We drop the word flavor around here unabashedly. And these lamb wraps are pretty high on our flavor dial. The lamb’s bursting with spices and herbs and is served with a raita that deserves some global recognition. We make these babies in the oven, but they would also be amazing cooked on a grill.

Preparation
Step 1
In a medium bowl, mix the spiced lamb ingredients with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cover and refrigerate.
Step 2
Next, combine the ramp raita ingredients with a couple of pinches of salt and give it a good stir. Cover and refrigerate that too.
Step 3
Remove the lamb mixture from the fridge and uncover. Shape into elongated patties, about 5 inches long, and flatten slightly; you should have 10 total.
Step 4
Turn broiler to high and place the lamb patties on a small sheet pan. Broil for 10 minutes. Do not turn them halfway through cooking— it will ruin the texture. Remove from the oven and set aside.
Step 5
Heat the tortillas (either in the microwave or using tongs to hold them over an open flame for a few seconds) to make them more pliable.
Step 6
On a piece of wax paper, place a tortilla, spread some raita on it, then top with a few slices of cucumber, onion, 2–3 lamb patties, a couple of sprigs of cilantro, and microgreens. Roll the tortilla pretty tightly using the wax paper. Twist the edges so all the ingredients are snug inside (like a Tootsie Roll). Let it sit 5 minutes before slicing in half.
