Beef Mushroom Pita (Print Version)

Warm pita stuffed with savory beef, mushrooms, gooey cheese, and a splash of tzatziki—simple, bold flavors in every bite.

# Ingredients:

→ Main Filling

01 - Salt and fresh black pepper, to taste
02 - 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
03 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano
04 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
05 - 1 small onion, chopped
06 - 100 g mushrooms, chopped up really tiny
07 - 15 ml olive oil
08 - 450 g ground beef

→ Assembly

09 - Chopped tomatoes, optional
10 - Chopped lettuce, optional
11 - 240 ml tzatziki sauce
12 - 4 pita breads, cut in half
13 - 100 g shredded cheddar or mozzarella

# Steps:

01 - Pack each pita half with your beef and mushroom mix. Drop on that cool tzatziki. Want greens? Add tomatoes and lettuce. Eat while it's warm.
02 - Soften up the pita breads just a bit. Gently pull them open for stuffing.
03 - Pour cheese into your beef and mushroom pan. Keep going until it melts and blends in.
04 - Chuck in the chopped mushrooms, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Keep cooking so mushrooms are soft and no liquid's left.
05 - Drop the ground beef into your hot pan. Break it up and cook till it's brown and done.
06 - Pour oil in a big skillet on medium heat. Toss in your onions and garlic. Sauté a few minutes till they get soft.

# Notes:

01 - Tzatziki's got tangy Greek yogurt that balances out the savory meat.
02 - Swap out beef for lentils or fake meat if you want a veggie version.
03 - You can make the filling before and just reheat it when ready.
