Method

  1. 1

    Mix the spices into the minced beef. Divide the mixture into four portions. Press the minced beef onto the surface of four tortillas using a spoon.

  2. 2

    Grate the washed cucumber and drain the excess liquid in a sieve. Peel and mince the garlic. Mix all the tzatziki ingredients in a bowl and transfer to the fridge to marinate for about 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Slice the washed tomatoes. Peel and slice the red onion. Rinse and shred the lettuce.

  4. 4

    Heat the fat in a pan. Place the tortilla in the pan, meat-side down. Press the tortilla with a spatula so that the minced beef cooks thoroughly. Fry for a few minutes. Flip the tortilla using a spatula. Lower the heat and fry for a moment until the tortilla gets some color. Transfer the tortilla to a plate and fry the remaining tortillas.

  5. 5

    Fill the finished tortillas with tzatziki, lettuce, tomato slices, and red onion. Crumble the drained salad cheese on top. Finish with fresh flat-leaf parsley. Fold in half and enjoy immediately.

  6. 6

    You can also use minced chicken instead of minced beef.
