Greek Beef Wraps

Grubilicious Contributor: Stacy McCarty

Sorry I have been so bad about posting recipes lately...besides having a newborn, we have been on the Abs diet in our house. So, the yummy food has taken a slight downturn. But, here is a recipe that I got out of Southern Living that is sooo good and on the diet. But, super yummy whether you are on the diet or not. However, if you are watching white carbs, I do these wraps in whole wheats wraps and they are excellent.

Prep: 20 min., Cook: 9 min. We call for flatbread wraps, but this delicious beef mixture would also be great in flour tortillas or pita pockets. (or whole wheat wraps!)

Ingredients
1 pound ground round (super lean)
1 small red onion, chopped
1 teaspoon Greek seasoning
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded, and grated
1 (8-oz.) container sour cream (I use light or fat free)
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill weed
6 garden-spinach flatbread wraps
3 plum tomatoes, finely chopped
1 (4-oz.) package crumbled feta cheese (I use reduced fat)

Preparation
1. Cook first 4 ingredients and 1/4 tsp. salt in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring often, 7 to 9 minutes or until beef crumbles and is no longer pink; drain well on paper towels.
2. Stir together cucumber, next 3 ingredients, and remaining 1/4 tsp. salt. Spoon 2 Tbsp. cucumber mixture down center of each wrap; top with beef mixture, tomatoes, and feta. Roll up, and serve with remaining cucumber mixture.
