Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Ground Beef
- 8 ounces Mushrooms, sliced
- 1 medium Onion, chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Cheddar Cheese, shredded
- 4 Pita Bread pockets
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- Salt and Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prep the Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients. Wash and slice the mushrooms, chop the onion, and mince the garlic.
- Cook the Beef: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the Mushrooms: Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes, or until they are tender and have released their moisture.
- Cook the Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Break it apart with a spatula and cook until browned and no longer pink. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Mix in the Cheese: Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and well combined.
- Warm the Pita: Lightly toast the pita bread in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until warm and pliable.
- Fill the Pita: Take a warm pita pocket and stuff it generously with the cheesy beef and mushroom filling.
- Top with Tzatziki: Drizzle tzatziki sauce over the filling and, if desired, add your garnishes.
- Serve: Enjoy your cheesy beef and mushroom pita pockets warm, with extra tzatziki sauce on the side!
