For the Ground Beef:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp chili flakes (optional)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Creamy Hot Honey Feta Sauce:
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp cream cheese
- 2 tbsp hot honey (or honey + chili flakes)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
For the Flatbread & Toppings:
- 4 flatbreads or naan
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cucumber, diced
- 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup olives, sliced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Sauté Onion and Garlic: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add finely chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Cook Ground Beef: Add ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 7-8 minutes.
- Season Beef: Sprinkle paprika, cumin, dried oregano, chili flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper over the beef. Mix well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Prepare Feta Sauce: In a blender or mixing bowl, combine crumbled feta cheese, Greek yogurt, cream cheese, hot honey, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Blend or whisk until smooth, creamy, and well combined.
- Warm Flatbreads: Warm the flatbreads or naan in a pan or oven for a few minutes until they are soft and slightly toasted.
- Assemble Flatbreads: Spread a generous layer of the creamy hot honey feta sauce evenly over each warm flatbread.
- Add Ground Beef: Distribute the seasoned ground beef evenly on top of the sauce layer on each flatbread.
- Top with Fresh Veggies and Herbs: Scatter halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, thinly sliced red onion, sliced olives, and chopped parsley over the beef.
- Finish with Olive Oil and Extra Honey: Drizzle each flatbread with a bit of olive oil and additional hot honey if desired to enhance the flavor.
