SPICED LAMB WRAPS WITH RAMP RAITA

• 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.
