Ingredients
For the Beef Filling
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 4 large pita breads or wraps
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup sliced red onion
- 1/4 cup sliced cucumber
For the Creamy Feta Dill Sauce
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the Beef: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon for even cooking.
- Season the Beef: Season the beef with paprika, garlic powder, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until the spices are fragrant and well incorporated.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine crumbled feta cheese, Greek yogurt, chopped fresh dill, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth and creamy.
- Warm the Pita Breads: Warm the pita breads briefly in a pan or oven for about 1 minute to make them pliable and enhance their flavor.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay the warmed pita breads flat and evenly distribute the cooked beef over each. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced red onion, and cucumber slices.
- Add the Sauce: Drizzle the creamy feta dill sauce generously over the fillings to add tangy creaminess.
- Fold and Serve: Fold the wraps tightly to enclose the fillings and serve immediately while warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- For a lighter version, use lean ground beef or substitute with ground turkey.
- Fresh dill can be substituted with dried dill if fresh is unavailable, but use less to avoid overpowering the sauce.
- To make this a gluten-free meal, substitute pita breads with gluten-free wraps.
- For added crunch and flavor, consider adding sliced olives or pepperoncini.
- These wraps are best served fresh to maintain the texture of the pita and the crispness of the vegetables.
