Stuffed Pita Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent.

  2. 2

    Cook the Beef

    Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Season with cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Parsley

    Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.

  4. 4

    Stuff the Pita

    Gently open each pita bread and stuff it with the beef mixture, making sure to distribute the filling evenly.

  5. 5

    Grill the Pita

    In a clean skillet or on a grill, place the stuffed pitas and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until the bread is golden and crispy.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from heat, cut in half if desired, and serve warm.
