This Spicy Lamb Meatball Pita Sandwich is a handheld feast bursting with flavor. The meatballs are made with a blend of ground lamb, fresh parsley, mint, and a touch of chili flakes for heat, then pan-seared to create a deliciously crisp exterior. They're tucked into soft, warm pita bread along with crunchy shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion. The sandwich is brought together with a cooling, tangy garlic-yogurt sauce that perfectly balances the spiciness of the lamb. It's a satisfying, protein-packed meal that's perfect for lunch on the go, a casual dinner, or feeding a crowd at a gathering.
