These lamb pitas are a great way to use up leftover lamb. I had some leftover from a roast leg of lamb and these pitas were the perfect way to use it up.

I've made these lamb pitas with both ground lamb and lamb chops. Both versions are delicious, but I prefer the lamb chops because they're a bit more juicy.
