Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 whole wheat pita pockets
  • 1 cup diced cucumber
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup red onion, diced
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Tzatziki sauce for serving

Instructions

  1. Sautéing the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and ground beef. Cook until browned, stirring occasionally to break apart the meat evenly.
  2. Adding the Spices: Once the beef is nicely browned, stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spices are fragrant and coated evenly on the meat.
  3. Chopping the Vegetables: While the beef is cooking, chop the cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, and parsley into bite-sized pieces. The colorful medley of veggies will add both flavor and crunch to the pockets.
  4. Warming the Pita: Once the beef is fully cooked, warm the pita pockets in another pan or microwave so they become soft and pliable, ready to hold all that wonderful filling.
  5. Assembling the Pockets: Now for the fun part—fill each pita pocket with the deliciously spiced beef. Top generously with cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, feta cheese, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
  6. Serving with Tzatziki: Serve your pita pockets with a generous dollop of tzatziki sauce on the side. This creamy sauce adds a refreshing touch that complements the flavors beautifully.

Notes

These pita pockets are best when served fresh. For leftovers, store the filling separately from the pita to keep them from getting soggy.
