A quick and flavorful wrap featuring seasoned ground beef, fresh vegetables, and a tangy yogurt sauce, all tucked into warm pita bread for a satisfying Mediterranean-inspired meal.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 lb ground beef (85% lean)
  • 4 large pita bread rounds
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 cucumber, diced
  • 1 tomato, diced
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt, minced garlic, a pinch of salt, and a squeeze of lemon juice to make the sauce. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 8-10 minutes.
  3. Stir in oregano, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant, then remove from heat.
  4. Warm the pita bread in a dry skillet or microwave for 20-30 seconds until soft and pliable.
  5. Assemble wraps by spreading a spoonful of yogurt sauce on each pita, adding ground beef, cucumber, tomato, and red onion. Garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
