This recipe is so good! I made it last night and my family loved it. Definitely a keeper!
I really wanna try this! My kids are picky eaters, but they love pitas. Thanks for sharing!
Can I use lettuce instead of pita? I heard that’s healthier! Just a thought.
Too spicy for my liking. Can’t even taste the beef under all those spices. 😩
Spicy? I think it adds flavor! You might just need to get used to it, lol!
I totally get it! The spices can really overpower the dish sometimes. Maybe try less next time?
Spice mix didn’t work out for me. I put too much cinnamon I think? I totally messed it up.
So much beef! I was expecting more veggies. Should’ve used more pickles instead.
My kids loved it! I just left out the veggies, haha. Easy recipe!
Absolutely delicious! The spices made my taste buds dance. Will definitely make again!
I misread the ingredients, used chicken instead of beef. Still turned out great!
Really? Chicken? Not sure if that would work but if you liked it, that’s what matters! 👀
That’s awesome! Glad it turned out well even with the switch! Chicken can be super tasty too. 😊
This is authentic Middle Eastern food! I felt like I was back in my grandma’s kitchen.
Honestly, it just tasted like regular beef. Not sure what the fuss is about with the spices.
Seemed too complicated for me. Can I just use ground beef? I don’t really get why it needs to be sliced.
It was okay but I feel like it needed something. Maybe some hot sauce?
I don’t know, something about it was off. My husband ate it all though. 🤷♀️
Pitas were toasted perfectly! I love it! Great quick meal after a long day.
Yum! The flavors were amazing. I added some hot sauce for extra kick. Will make again.
