Ingredients
  

For the Beef Mixture
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
For the Pita Filling
  • 4 pieces pita pockets
  • 1 cup lettuce, shredded
  • 1 large tomato, diced
  • 1/2 large cucumber, diced
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup tzatziki sauce

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add chopped onion and garlic, sauté until softened.
  3. Add ground beef, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper; cook until beef is browned.
Assembly
  1. Warm pita pockets in the oven or microwave.
  2. Fill each pita pocket with the beef mixture, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, and feta cheese.
  3. Drizzle with tzatziki sauce before serving.

Notes

Serve the pita pockets warm, paired with a side salad or crispy chips. For extra flavor, add jalapeños or red pepper flakes into the beef mixture. Use ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option, and feel free to incorporate other veggies.
