1. The Ingredients List (Makes 4–6 Wraps)
For the Savory Beef Filling:
- 500g Ground Beef: For a juicy and protein-packed base.
- 1 Small Onion & 2 Cloves Garlic: Minced to create a bold seasoning blend.
- The Greek Spice Mix: 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp smoked paprika, and ½ tsp ground cumin.
- Seasoning: Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil: For a glossy finish while sautéing.
For the Creamy Garlic Yogurt Sauce:
- ½ Cup Greek Yogurt: Provides a smooth and creamy texture.
- 1 Clove Garlic (minced) & 1 tsp Lemon Juice: For extra brightness and juicy flavor.
For the Wrap & Fresh Toppings:
- 4–6 Large Flatbreads or Pita: Warmed until soft and pliable.
- Fresh Veggie Boost: ½ cup diced cucumber, ½ cup diced tomato, and ¼ cup sliced red onion.
- Herbs & Extras: ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley and optional crumbled feta cheese for a bold red pop of flavor.
2. Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Sauté the Aromatics
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion until soft (3–4 minutes), then add the garlic for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 2: Cook the Beef
Add the ground beef along with the oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for 8–10 minutes, breaking up the meat, until it is beautifully browned and cooked through.
Step 3: Prepare the Sauce
While the beef cooks, whisk together the Greek yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. This creates a fresh and clean sauce that balances the warm meat.
Step 4: Assemble and Serve
Warm your flatbreads, spread a generous layer of the garlic yogurt sauce, and top with the cooked beef and fresh vegetables. Roll them up tightly for a satisfying healthy lunch idea.
3. Pro Tips for Extra Flavor
- Add Brightness: Squeeze fresh lemon over the filling right before rolling.
- Add Heat: Sprinkle chili flakes into the beef mixture for a spicier kick.
- Meal Prep: These wraps are ideal for meal prep—simply store the components separately and assemble when ready to eat.
