Instructions
1
Prep
Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Measure the cumin, allspice, cinnamon, salt, and pepper into a bowl.
2
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the onion for 3 minutes until softened and translucent. Add the ground beef, minced garlic, and spice mix; break up the meat and sear over medium-high heat for 6 to 7 minutes until no pink remains and edges turn crisp brown.
3
Whisk the yogurt with the grated garlic clove, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth and slightly loosened. Warm the pita in the dry skillet over medium heat for 20 seconds per side until pliable and lightly toasted.
4
Plate
Spread the yogurt sauce over the pita, layer the lettuce, tomato slices, and cucumber slices down the center, top with the spiced beef, scatter the chopped parsley over the top, fold closed, and serve seam-side down while still hot.
