Steps:
- For the lamb: In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the lamb, sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook until the meat gets nice and golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove the lamb and reserve. Lower the heat to medium and saute the onions in the lamb juices until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the oregano and garlic and cook until fragrant. Season. Add the tomato paste and cook until it caramelizes. Deglaze with the red wine and scrape any bits up that have adhered to the pan. Add the lamb back in, stir and set aside.
- For the tzatziki: Grate the cucumber on the large holes of a box grater and place in a fine-meshed strainer or cheese cloth fitted over a bowl. Salt the cucumber and let sit 10 minutes. Then squeeze out any excess moisture. Add the strained cucumber into a bowl with the yogurt, feta, garlic and mint. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- For the cucumber tomato relish: Toss the olive oil, vinegar, tomatoes, cucumbers and onions in a bowl and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Cover and let sit at least 1 hour to marry the flavors.
- For the sandwich build: Schmear the tzatziki on the pitas, then place on the lamb and top with cucumber tomato relish.

Tips:
- Choose the right yogurt. Use plain, full-fat Greek yogurt for the best flavor and texture. Whole milk yogurt will also work, but it will be thinner.
- Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better the sauce will taste. This is especially true for the cilantro, lime juice, and garlic.
- Adjust the seasonings to taste. The amounts of cumin, chili powder, and salt in this recipe are just a starting point. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings until you reach your desired flavor.
- Use the sauce immediately or store it for later. The sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to use it, stir it well before serving.
Conclusion:
This Greek yogurt taco sauce is a delicious and healthy way to add flavor to your favorite Mexican dishes. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a new taco sauce, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
