Ingredients

Scale

For the Beef

  • 500 g (1 lb) lean ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Wraps

  • 4 large flour or whole wheat tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce or baby spinach
  • 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 tomato, sliced
  • Fresh parsley or dill, chopped, for garnish

For the Lemon Herb Feta Sauce

  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 small garlic clove, grated
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or dill, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1–2 tablespoons water to thin, if needed

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Onion and Garlic: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the finely diced onion and sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened. Then add the minced garlic, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper, stirring to combine the spices and aromatics.
  2. Cook the Ground Beef: Add the lean ground beef to the skillet. Cook thoroughly, breaking the meat apart with a spatula, until browned and no longer pink. Season to taste and remove from heat.
  3. Prepare the Lemon Herb Feta Sauce: In a blender or food processor, combine crumbled feta cheese, plain Greek yogurt, olive oil, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, grated garlic clove, chopped parsley or dill, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons of water to achieve desired consistency.
  4. Warm the Tortillas: Briefly heat the flour or whole wheat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable for wrapping.
  5. Assemble the Wraps: Lay a warm tortilla flat and layer with shredded lettuce or baby spinach, cooked beef, thin slices of cucumber, and tomato. Drizzle generously with the lemon herb feta sauce and garnish with fresh parsley or dill. Roll up the wrap tightly.
  6. Serve Immediately: Serve the wraps right away to enjoy the fresh flavors and textures at their best.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free option, substitute the flour tortillas with gluten-free wraps or large lettuce leaves.
  • You can swap the ground beef for ground lamb or turkey for a different protein variation.
  • If you prefer a spicier wrap, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the beef while cooking.
  • The lemon herb feta sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 2 days.
  • Adding extra fresh herbs like mint or chives can elevate the freshness of the wraps.
