For the Ground Beef
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For the Spicy Hot Honey Feta Cream
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/3 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
For the Wraps
- 4 large pita breads or flatbreads
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1/2 cup diced cucumber
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- Cook the Ground Beef: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add ground beef and cook for 6–8 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon until browned. Stir in paprika, dried oregano, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 1–2 minutes to let the spices bloom and infuse the meat with flavor.
- Make the Feta Cream: In a small bowl, whisk together crumbled feta cheese, Greek yogurt, honey, lemon juice, crushed red pepper flakes, and olive oil until the mixture is smooth and creamy, combining the spicy, sweet, and tangy flavors.
- Warm the Wraps: Lightly warm the pita breads or flatbreads in a skillet or oven just until soft and pliable, making them easier to fold and enhancing their flavor.
- Assemble the Wraps: Spoon the seasoned ground beef onto the center of each warmed wrap. Top with shredded lettuce, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, and chopped fresh parsley to add freshness and texture.
- Drizzle and Serve: Add a generous drizzle of the spicy hot honey feta cream over the toppings. Fold the wraps tightly and serve immediately while warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Use lean ground beef to reduce fat content and make the wrap healthier.
- Adjust crushed red pepper flakes in the feta cream according to your preferred spice level.
- Warm the pita breads gently to avoid drying them out.
- Can substitute pita with whole wheat or gluten-free wraps if desired for dietary needs.
- Prepare feta cream in advance and refrigerate to let flavors meld.
- Serve with a side of tzatziki or extra lemon wedges for added zest.
