with a super light crispy texture when you bite into these savory cigars. The depth of flavor in the meat filling is full of herb and spice delights so when you dip it into the fresh vibrant tzatziki your taste buds are tantalized. This is a great-looking dish to prepare in advance and serves as finger-licking food for that special social get-together.
