I used to love picking up gyro wraps for lunch or for a late-night snack, so I thought why not try to capture those flavours in a cauliflower rice bowl form? I used ground lamb because I love lamb, but it could easily work with ground beef or other ground meats. The combinations of sweet and savoury along with the fresh herbs makes for a delicious, satisfying meal that captures the street meat taste that I know and love.
