Ingredients

• Ground beef (lean) - 250 grams
• Onion (finely grated) - 1 medium (about 100 grams)
• Garlic (minced) - 2 cloves
• Parsley (finely chopped) - 2 tablespoons
• Cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Whole wheat flatbreads - 2 pieces
• Tomato (sliced) - 1 medium
• Cucumber (sliced) - 1 medium
• Lettuce leaves - 4 pieces
• Yogurt (plain, low-fat) - 100 grams
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, grated onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
2. Shape the mixture into small oval-shaped patties (köfte) about 2 cm thick.
3. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once hot, place the köfte in the pan and grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and browned.
4. While the köfte are cooking, prepare the flatbreads by lightly warming them in a separate pan or microwave for a few seconds until soft.
5. To assemble the wraps, place 2 köfte on each flatbread, top with lettuce leaves, tomato, and cucumber slices.
6. Drizzle with yogurt before wrapping the flatbread around the filling. Serve immediately.
