Method
- Grate and drain the cucumber for the tzatziki, squeezing out as much excess liquid as possible.
- In a medium bowl, combine the drained cucumber with full-fat Greek yogurt, minced garlic, chopped fresh dill, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, minced onion, minced garlic, chopped fresh mint, parsley, oregano, cumin, paprika, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
- Roll the mixture into small, bite-sized meatballs, about 1-inch in diameter.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs in batches and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes per batch. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
- Slice the fresh veggies: thinly slice a ripe tomato and half a red onion, and prepare the lettuce.
- Warm the pita bread in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side.
- Spread tzatziki over the warm pita bread, then add the hot meatballs, sliced tomatoes, red onion, and lettuce.
- Fold the pita over to create a wrap and serve immediately with extra lemon wedges.
