Instructions

1. 1

   In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground lamb, grated onion, half of the Greek yogurt, olive oil, paprika, cumin, coriander, oregano, salt, pepper, half of the lemon juice, and pressed garlic. Mix well until thoroughly combined.

2. 2

   Place a portion of the meat mixture (about 1/4 of the total) onto a sheet of parchment paper.

3. 3

   Place a second sheet of parchment paper on top and use a rolling pin to roll the meat into a very thin, even layer.

4. 4

   Remove the top parchment sheet and fold the meat layer over itself into a tight roll.

5. 5

   Place the meat rolls on a baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 30 minutes, draining off excess fat and juices halfway through.

6. 6

   Remove the rolls from the oven. For a crispier texture, you can return them to the oven for an additional 5 minutes.

7. 7

   Serve the meat inside warm pita bread with fresh parsley, sliced onions, tomatoes, the remaining yogurt, remaining lemon juice, and hot sauce as desired.
