Marinate the lamb shoulder in olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper for at least 1 hour.

Preheat a grill to medium-high heat.

Grill the marinated lamb for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and slightly charred.

Remove the lamb from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly.

Warm the pita bread on the grill for 1-2 minutes until soft.

Spread tzatziki sauce on each pita bread.

Layer sliced lamb, diced tomato, sliced red onion, and cucumber on top of the tzatziki.

Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and chopped fresh parsley.

Fold the pita bread over the filling to create a taco shape.

Serve immediately with extra tzatziki on the side.
