Greek Tacos

From Mel's Kitchen Cafe

INGREDIENTS

Lamb or Turkey:
• 2 pounds ground lamb or turkey
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 cup minced red onion
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons dried oregano
• 3 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1/4 cup broth (chicken, vegetable or beef)

Toppings:

Lettuce or spinach

Chopped tomatoes

• 6-8 non-pocket pita or soft wrap breads 

DIRECTIONS

1. For the meat, heat a large, 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the ground lamb or turkey with the salt, pepper, onion and garlic, breaking up the meat into small pieces and cooking until the meat is cooked through, 8-10 minutes.
2. Drain any excess grease. Stir in the oregano and tomato paste and cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring often. Stir in the broth and let the mixture simmer for 5-10 minutes. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
3. Warm the pita breads in a cast iron skillet or in the microwave until soft and heated through. Serve the tacos by spooning meat into the center of a pita bread and topping with fixings and tzatziki.

Notes from Jill's Kitchen: The original recipe had this cucumber salsa stuff and feta mint tzatziki sauce, but I didn't want all that. I wanted original delicious tzatziki and the usual gyro fixings (lettuce- although I used spinach and tomato). I also made my own flatbread to use as the "tortillas." (Flatbread recipe here)
