Ingredients

Scale

For the Ground Beef

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons water

For the Garlic Hot Honey Ricotta Sauce

  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1–2 teaspoons hot sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely grated
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Pinch of salt

For the Wrap Assembly

  • 4 large tortillas or pita wraps
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped
  • Optional: olives or pickled onions

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ground Beef: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the finely diced onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Cook the Beef: Add ground beef to the skillet, break it apart, and cook for 6–8 minutes until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat if necessary to prevent greasiness.
  3. Season the Meat: Stir in paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and optional chili flakes. Mix well to coat the beef evenly with the spices.
  4. Add Tomato Paste: Stir in tomato paste and water, cooking for an additional 2–3 minutes until the mixture forms a slightly saucy texture. Remove from heat once done.
  5. Make the Garlic Hot Honey Ricotta Sauce: In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, Greek yogurt, honey, hot sauce, grated garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  6. Warm the Wraps: Heat tortillas or pita wraps until soft and flexible, either in a dry skillet or microwave briefly.
  7. Assemble the Wraps: Spread a generous layer of the garlic hot honey ricotta sauce on each wrap followed by the seasoned ground beef.
  8. Add Fresh Veggies and Cheese: Top with shredded lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, thinly sliced red onion, and optional crumbled feta cheese. Add fresh parsley and optional olives or pickled onions for extra flavor.
  9. Serve: Fold the wraps tightly and serve immediately while warm and creamy for the best taste experience.

Notes

  • Adjust the hot sauce amount in the ricotta sauce to suit your preferred spice level.
  • You can substitute ground lamb for beef for a more traditional Mediterranean flavor.
  • Drain any excess fat after cooking beef to keep the wrap from being greasy.
  • Serve with a side of tzatziki or extra hot honey sauce for dipping if desired.
  • For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free tortillas or wraps.
