Ingredients
- 500 g ground beef
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp ground cumin
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 large red bell peppers (roasted, peeled, seeded)
- 100 g feta cheese (about ½ cup)
- 1 small garlic clove
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
- 4–6 pita breads or flatbreads
- Lettuce leaves
- Tomato slices
- Cucumber slices
- Red onion, thinly sliced
- Optional: fresh parsley or mint
Instructions
- Roast the red bell peppers under a broiler or on a grill until charred. Place in a bowl, cover for 10 minutes, then peel, seed, and slice.
- In a blender, combine roasted peppers, feta, garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
- In a skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onion until soft. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Add ground beef, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 6–8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Warm the pita breads in a dry skillet or oven until soft and pliable.
- Spread red pepper sauce on each pita, then top with beef, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, red onion, and herbs if using.
- Fold or roll the pitas and serve immediately. Store leftover components separately.
Notes
- Use lamb, chicken, or turkey instead of beef for variation.
- Mix Greek yogurt into the sauce for a milder, creamier flavor.
- For extra spice, add red pepper flakes to the beef or sauce.
- Store components separately to keep wraps from getting soggy.
- Great served with a Greek salad or roasted potatoes.
