Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 cloves garlic-grated
  • 1/2 cup dehydrated onion or 1/4 cup fresh grated onion
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp coriander
  • 3/4 tsp paprika
  • pinch cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup parsley plus garnish
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • black pepper to taste
  • hummus-garnish
  • tzaziki-garnish
  • chopped cucumber-garnish
  • red onion-garnish
  • feta cheese crumbled-garnish
  • tomato chopped-garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl combine the ground beef through pepper. Set aside.
  • Slice the pita through the center to make 2 separate pitas. Spread 1/3 cup of beef mixture on the pita all the way to the edges. The beef mixture is easier to spread if the meta is not cold. Keep it an even layer.
  • Heat pan with olive oil. Sear the meat side first until golden, 4 minutes. Flip the pit over and cook on the other side for 2 minutes, until crisped.
  • Remove from the pan and garnish with your toppings. Serve warm. If making them for a crowd place the cooked pita on a baking sheet to keep warm until you are ready to serve.
