Categories: Sandwiches/Wraps

Ingredients

  • 6 oz lean ground beef
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 small onion, grated
  • 3 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp minced parsley
  • salt
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp sweet paprika
  • 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 4 whole-wheat flatbread rounds
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, for garnish
  • 2 tbsp cilantro, for garnish
  • 1 cucumber, cut lengthwise into thin sheets
  • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 475.

  2. In a medium skillet, brown the meat over medium-high heat, breaking up with a spatula, about 4 minutes. When the meat is browned, drain off the excess fat. Add the garlic and grated onion and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add the tomato paste, parsley, salt, cayenne, cumin, paprika, and cinnamon and cook, stirring, for 1 more minute.

  3. Place 2 flatbread rounds onto each of 2 large baking sheets and spoon the meat on top of them, dividing equally. Bake in the oven, rotating the pans halfway through, for 6-8 minutes, until the edges of the flatbread are beginning to brown.

  4. Remove from oven and serve with a dollop of yogurt, a sprinkling of cilantro, a few strips of cucumber and a few slices of red onion on top. Serve lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the meat.
