Ingredients

Scale

Mediterranean Ground Beef

  • 1 lb ground beef (85/15 recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ small onion, finely diced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Spicy Lemon Honey Feta Cream

  • ¾ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to heat preference)
  • 1 small garlic clove, finely grated
  • 12 tablespoons warm water (to thin)
  • Pinch of salt

For Assembly

  • 4 large flour tortillas or wraps
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup diced cucumber
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ¼ red onion, thinly sliced
  • Extra parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the Ground Beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté 2–3 minutes until soft. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add ground beef and cook for 6–8 minutes, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  2. Season the Beef: Stir in dried oregano, ground cumin, smoked paprika, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1–2 minutes to toast the spices and infuse their flavors. Remove from heat and mix in fresh lemon juice and chopped parsley to brighten the taste.
  3. Prepare the Spicy Lemon Honey Feta Cream: In a bowl, whisk together crumbled feta cheese, Greek yogurt, honey, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, olive oil, red pepper flakes, grated garlic, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add warm water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, suitable for spreading or drizzling.
  4. Assemble the Wraps: Lay out the flour tortillas flat and spread a generous layer of the Spicy Lemon Honey Feta Cream down the center of each tortilla. Add the seasoned ground beef on top, followed by shredded lettuce, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced red onion.
  5. Wrap & Serve: Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll tightly to form secure wraps. Slice in half for easier handling if desired. Garnish with extra parsley for a fresh finish and serve warm for the best flavor.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, substitute flour tortillas with gluten-free wraps or large lettuce leaves.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes in the feta cream according to your preferred spice level.
  • Use lean ground beef (85/15) for balanced taste and fat content, or substitute with ground lamb for a richer flavor.
  • This wrap can be made ahead; keep beef and feta cream refrigerated separately and assemble just before serving to maintain freshness.
  • If feta cheese is too salty, rinse lightly or use less salt in the seasoning step.
