Ingredients
- 400 gram lean ground beef
- 250 gram fresh tomatoes
- red onion, to taste
- 2 pcs flatbreads, (lavash, pita, or tortillas)
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp dried garlic
- salt
- 200 gram Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons grated cucumber
- 2 whole heads garlic, (for roasting)
- 1 teaspoon mint
- 1 tablespoon dill
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Place the ground beef on a sheet of parchment paper, cover with another sheet, and roll it out into an even thin layer.
- Remove the top sheet of parchment and roll the meat into a tight log.
- Transfer the meat roll to a baking sheet. Add the whole garlic heads and tomatoes to the same sheet. Lightly drizzle the garlic with olive oil.
- Bake for 40 minutes at 200°C. When done, remove from the oven and let everything cool for about 15 minutes.
- While it cools, make the tzatziki: Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins and mash them. Mix the Greek yogurt with the mashed roasted garlic, dill, mint, grated cucumber, lemon juice, and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then stir or blend until smooth.
- Remove the cooled meat from the parchment and tear or slice it into small pieces.
- Assemble the wraps: Spread tzatziki on a flatbread, add fresh cucumber slices (if using), the meat pieces, sliced red onion, and roasted tomatoes (peel the skins off first). Roll up tightly and toast on a skillet on medium-high heat.
