Calories: 403kcal
Ingredients
- 340 grams Beyond Beef or ground beef
- 4 pitas
- ⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ½ small onion finely grated
- ¼ cup fresh parsley chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil plus more for frying
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon ground coriander
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper optional
- ½ teaspoon salt use 1 teaspoon if using beef
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
For Serving
- Tzatziki sauce or Greek yogurt
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, feta, onion, parsley, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, coriander, paprika, cinnamon, cayenne (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
- Cut each pita in half to create 8 pita pockets.
- Divide the meat mixture into 8 equal portions and spread each portion inside a pita pocket. Press gently to create a thin, even layer.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a generous drizzle of olive oil.
- Cook the stuffed pitas for about 3 minutes per side, or until the pita is golden brown and crispy and the filling reaches 165°F. You will probably need to do this in two batches. I like to sear the edges to finish them.
- Serve immediately with tzatziki sauce or Greek yogurt for dipping.
