Ingredients

Scale

For the Ground Beef

  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Spicy Lemon Honey Feta Cream

  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 12 teaspoons red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

For the Flatbread

  • 2 pre-made flatbreads or naan
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Cook the Ground Beef: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add ground beef along with smoked paprika, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 6-8 minutes, breaking apart the meat, until browned and fully cooked through.
  2. Prepare the Spicy Lemon Honey Feta Cream: In a small bowl, combine crumbled feta cheese, honey, red pepper flakes, Greek yogurt, and fresh lemon juice. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your preferred spice level.
  3. Assemble the Flatbread: Place the pre-made flatbreads or naan on a baking sheet. Spread a generous and even layer of the spicy lemon honey feta cream over each flatbread. Top with the cooked ground beef, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, thinly sliced red onion, and chopped fresh parsley to add freshness and texture.
  4. Serve: Slice the flatbreads into pieces and serve immediately while warm for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground beef with ground lamb or turkey for a different flavor profile.
  • For extra heat, increase the red pepper flakes in the feta cream or add a drizzle of hot sauce.
  • Use fresh herbs like mint or cilantro as an alternative to parsley.
  • Flatbreads can be warmed on a skillet or in the oven before assembling for a crispier base.
  • This recipe can be served as a main dish or cut into smaller pieces for an appetizer or party platter.
