Instruções

Prepare the Beef Filling: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, chopped onion, garlic, tomato paste, olive oil, spices, and parsley, mixing well until slightly sticky.

Stuff the Pitas: Cut each pita in half, gently open to form pockets, and fill each with the beef mixture, pressing evenly.

Sear the Pitas: Lightly brush the outside with olive oil and place meat-side down in a hot pan until golden, then crisp the other sides.

Bake the Pitas: Transfer to a baking tray and bake in a preheated oven for 10–15 minutes, until the meat is fully cooked through.

Prepare the Garlic Tahini Sauce: Whisk together Greek yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, parsley, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.

Serve: Optionally brush pitas with melted garlic butter, serve hot with the garlic tahini sauce, and enjoy.
