Hamburger
Ingredients:
1 ½ pounds lean ground beef
Salt and pepper to taste
3 tsp olive oil
1 cup chopped green pepper
1 cup chopped onion
4 pita breads or flatbreads
Tzatziki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Optional toppings: diced tomatoes, lettuce, feta cheese, olives
Instructions:
1. Cook the Vegetables:
In a large skillet, heat 2 tsp of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped green peppers and onions. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from skillet and set aside.
2. Prepare the Beef:
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tsp of olive oil and increase the heat to medium-high.
Add the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes.
3. Combine Ingredients:
Once the beef is cooked, add the sautéed peppers and onions back into the skillet. Mix well to combine.
4. Warm the Pita:
In a separate pan, lightly toast the pita breads until warm and pliable.
5. Assemble the Gyros:
Place a generous amount of the beef mixture onto each pita. Top with tzatziki sauce and any additional toppings you desire.
6. Serve:
Fold the pitas and serve immediately.
Enjoy your flavorful gyros! If you have any other requests or need variations, let me know!
