Ingredients

Scale

For the Ground Beef:

  • 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt & black pepper, to taste

For the Creamy Feta Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • Salt, to taste

For Assembly:

  • 4 pita breads, warmed
  • 1/2 cup cucumber, diced
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • Fresh parsley or mint, chopped

Instructions

  1. Sauté Aromatics: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing for 2–3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
  2. Cook Ground Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet along with ground cumin, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Break up the meat with a spatula and cook for 7–8 minutes until browned and fully cooked through.
  3. Prepare Creamy Feta Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, crumbled feta cheese, olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, and salt until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  4. Warm Pita Breads: Warm the pita breads in a dry skillet or oven until soft and pliable, ready for filling.
  5. Assemble Wraps: Fill each warmed pita with a generous portion of the cooked ground beef, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, thinly sliced red onion, and a drizzle of the creamy feta sauce. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or mint.
  6. Serve: Serve immediately while warm, allowing guests to enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors of this Mediterranean-inspired dish.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes when cooking the ground beef.
  • Use whole wheat pita for a healthier, higher-fiber option.
  • The creamy feta sauce can be made a day ahead for convenience and stored in the refrigerator.
  • Fresh herbs like mint or parsley brighten the wrap and add authentic Mediterranean flavor.
  • Vegetables can be customized based on preference – consider adding shredded lettuce or diced bell peppers.
