Greek Kebab Wraps
Another week, another challenge… My friend Jeff, the butcher/fellow food enthusiast got in a new line of spice mix grinders at his store. However, the So!Go company website is really lacking in terms of any recipes or direction on what to do with their product. I grabbed a bottle of the Greek spice mix to give it a try.
The recipe below is kind of a Greek hybrid recipe, combining a couple of different ideas.
Overall, I’m pretty pleased with the way the spice mix gave the dish an authentic Greek taste & I’d be tempted to try some of their other mixes.
