Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 4 pita breads
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • salt
  • black pepper
  • For the filling:
  • 2 tomatoes, diced
  • 1 cucumber, sliced or diced
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup lettuce
  • For the sauce:
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon dill or parsley
  • salt
  • black pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, then stir in the minced garlic.
  2. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Season with oregano, salt, and black pepper, and cook until fully done and slightly crispy.
  3. In a bowl, prepare the sauce by mixing Greek yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, dill or parsley, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Set aside.
  4. Warm the pita bread slightly until soft and pliable.
  5. Assemble each pita by adding a portion of cooked beef, followed by tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and lettuce.
  6. Drizzle the yogurt sauce over the filling.
  7. Fold the pita and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Substitute ground lamb for a more traditional flavor.
  • Use ground turkey for a lighter option.
  • Add crumbled feta cheese or olives for extra flavor.
  • Store beef, vegetables, and sauce separately for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat beef before assembling for best texture.
  • Warm pita before filling to prevent tearing.
