We use pumpkin pie spice as a quick shortcut for basic Moroccan spices. Due to the magic of the broiler, cooking the lamb takes a mere 5 minutes. The wonderfully roasted lamb, cumin, coriander, and red onion are then tempered by fresh tomatoes and creamy hummus. This will soon become your favorite weekday pita that's perfect to take on the go. Use whatever herbs you have on hand to top it off for additional brightness and a beautiful contrast in colors.
