INGREDIENTS

  • Protein

    • 12 ounces ground sirloin

  • Spices & Seasonings

    • 🧄 2 cloves garlic
    • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
    • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
    • 🧂 1 teaspoon kosher salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

  • Vegetables

    • 1 1/2 cups shredded Romaine lettuce
    • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
    • 1 tablespoon dill
    • 2 tablespoons pepperoncini pepper slices
    • 🧅 3 tablespoons red onion

  • Dairy

    • 1/4 cup feta cheese

  • Condiments

    • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
    • 1/4 cup tzatziki sauce

STEPS

1

Gather all ingredients.

2

Combine meat with garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper and mix until well incorporated.

3

Divide mixture evenly into 4 portions. Press each portion onto the top of 1 pita; press and spread meat almost to the edges.

4

Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium-high heat until hot. Place pita meat side down in skillet. Press pita down with the back of a spatula so that meat stays thin while it cooks. Cook, undisturbed, until browned and meat easily releases from the pan, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook 1 more minute. Repeat with remaining pitas.

5

Toss lettuce, parsley, dill, pepperoncini, red onion, feta, lemon juice, and tzatziki together in a bowl until well combined.

6

Divide salad mixture among pitas and top evenly with tomato slices. Fold in half and serve immediately.
