Critical Success Points
- • Mixing the meat filling just enough to bind without over‑working.
- • Sealing the pita edges securely to prevent filling leakage.
- • Cooking over medium‑high heat without burning the bread while ensuring the meat reaches safe internal temperature.
Safety Warnings
- • Hot oil can splatter – use a splatter guard or keep a safe distance.
- • Ensure ground meat reaches an internal temperature of 71°C (160°F) for safety.
