1 pound ground lamb
1 shallot, finely chopped
3 tablespoons finely chopped mint
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon adobo seasoning
Yogurt-Tahini Sauce:
1 (5.3 ounce) container fat-free Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons tahini
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Sandwich Garnishes:
4 pita bread rounds
1 tomato, chopped
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup shredded lettuce

1
Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
2
Mix lamb, shallot, mint, paprika, cumin, salt, coriander, cinnamon, black pepper, and adobo together gently in a bowl. Form lamb mixture into 8 cylinders approximately 1x3 inches in size, using about 3 tablespoons of mixture per cylinder.
3
Reduce grill heat to medium; transfer lamb to grill and cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 3 to 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from grill.
4
Mix yogurt, tahini, and lemon juice together in a bowl until sauce is uniform.
5
Spread 1/4 of the yogurt sauce down the middle of each pita; top with lamb, tomato, feta cheese, and lettuce.
