Ingredients

  • 1 cup ground lamb
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 medium flour tortillas
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, for serving

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and add ground lamb. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Stir in cumin and paprika, season with salt and pepper, and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    In a bowl, whisk the eggs and pour them into the skillet with the lamb. Scramble until fully cooked, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Place a tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle half of it with cheese and half of the lamb and egg mixture. Fold the tortilla over to form a quesadilla.

  5. 5

    Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until the tortillas are golden and the cheese is melted. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.

  6. 6

    Slice the quesadillas into wedges and serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
