  1. In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Cook ground lamb or beef with garlic, oregano, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, and pepper until browned and fully cooked. Set aside.
  2. In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper to make the tzatziki. Chill until ready to use.

Notes

  • Use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.

  • This dish works well both warm and cold, making it perfect for meal prep.
