Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 8 ounces mushrooms diced
  • 1 medium onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 4 whole wheat pita pockets
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cucumber grated
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef, onions, and garlic. Cook until the beef is browned and the onions are translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  2. Add the diced mushrooms, oregano, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender. Stir in the mozzarella cheese until melted and well combined. Remove from heat.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, lemon juice, dill, and garlic powder to create the tzatziki sauce. Stir until smooth and well combined.
  4. Warm the pita pockets in a toaster or on a skillet for about 1-2 minutes until soft. Carefully open each pita pocket and fill with the cheesy beef and mushroom mixture.
  5. Serve the pita pockets warm with a generous drizzle of tzatziki sauce on top.
