Mediterranean Beef Pita Power-Ups: Your 25-Minute Weeknight Win

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
2. 2

   Reduce heat to medium. Add diced onion to the skillet with the beef and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in minced garlic, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
3. 3

   While the beef cooks, warm the pita breads. You can do this in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side, in the microwave for 15-20 seconds, or briefly in a toaster oven until soft and pliable.
4. 4

   Carefully cut each warm pita in half to create a pocket. Spoon a generous amount of the seasoned ground beef into each pita half.
5. 5

   Fill the pockets with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and diced cucumbers. Drizzle generously with Tzatziki sauce and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and fresh chopped parsley.
