Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground Beef (80/20 lean‑to‑fat ratio for juiciness)
- 0.5 medium Yellow Onion (Half an onion, finely chopped in food processor)
- 2 Tbsp All‑Purpose Greek Seasoning (Blend of salt, black pepper, garlic, oregano; adjust to taste)
- 1 spray Avocado Oil Spray (Light coating for the meat mixture)
- 2 sheets Parchment Paper (For rolling and transferring the meat)
- 2 halves Low‑Carb Pita Bread (Approximately 35 calories per half, 3 g net carbs)
- 1 cup Romaine Lettuce (Shredded for topping)
- 0.5 medium Tomato (Thinly sliced)
- 0.25 medium Additional Onion (Finely chopped for topping)
- 4 Tbsp Tzatziki Sauce (Store‑bought or homemade; adds creaminess)
Instructions
Preheat Oven
Set the oven to 400°F (200°C) and let it fully preheat while you prepare the meat.
Time: PT5M
Temperature: 400°F
Chop Onion
Place half a medium onion in the food processor and pulse until finely chopped, about 10 seconds.
Time: PT2M
Combine Meat and Seasonings
In a large mixing bowl, add 1 lb ground beef, the chopped onion, 2 Tbsp Greek seasoning, and a quick spray of avocado oil. Mix thoroughly with hands or a spoon until the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Time: PT7M
Prepare Rolling Surface
Lay one sheet of parchment paper on the countertop. Transfer the meat mixture onto the parchment and shape it into a rough rectangle.
Time: PT3M
Roll Meat Thin
Cover the meat with the second parchment sheet. Using a rolling pin, roll the meat as thinly as possible (about 1 mm thick). If the meat cracks, gently lift the edges and continue rolling.
Time: PT10M
Transfer to Baking Sheet
Carefully peel off the top parchment sheet and slide the rolled meat onto a parchment‑lined baking sheet.
Time: PT2M
Bake the Meat
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the meat is fully cooked through and slightly browned.
Time: PT20M
Temperature: 400°F
Crisp in Skillet
Heat a skillet over medium‑high heat. Add a light spray of avocado oil and transfer the baked meat to the pan. Cook, breaking it into bite‑size pieces with a fork, for 4‑5 minutes until crispy edges form.
Time: PT5M
Prepare Toppings
While the meat crisps, slice the remaining onion, shred lettuce, slice tomato, and set out tzatziki sauce.
Time: PT5M
Assemble the Euro Pita
Warm the low‑carb pita halves briefly (30 seconds) in the skillet or microwave. Spread 2 Tbsp tzatziki on each half, layer with lettuce, tomato, onion, and generous portions of the crisped meat. Fold and serve immediately.
Time: PT5M
