How to Make Greek Beef Wraps with Garlic Yogurt Sauce

Step 1: Prepare the Garlic Yogurt Sauce

In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, chopped dill (or parsley), salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth. Chill in the fridge until ready to use. This sauce is where the magic happens—creamy, tangy, and packed with flavor. Pro tip: make it a few hours ahead to let the garlic infuse the yogurt.

Step 2: Cook the Beef

Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté garlic for about one minute until fragrant. Add ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks for 8–10 minutes. Season with oregano, paprika, cumin, salt, pepper, and a splash of lemon juice. Cook until fully browned but still juicy. Remember, overcooked beef = sad, dry wraps—so keep an eye on it.

Step 3: Assemble the Wraps

Warm your pita breads slightly—microwave for 15–20 seconds or in a dry skillet. Spread a generous spoonful of garlic yogurt sauce over each pita. Layer lettuce, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, then top with the spiced beef. Finish with crumbled feta. Roll tightly and cut in half if desired. Extra sauce on the side is always a good idea; you’ll thank me later.

Step 4: Serving Suggestions

Serve with a simple Greek salad or roasted potatoes.
Pair with other Greek dishes like Greek Beef Wraps with Tzatziki Sauce or a Greek Lamb Mezze Platter with Lemon Drizzle.
These wraps are also fantastic for lunch boxes or picnics.

Tips for Perfect Greek Beef Wraps

Prep ahead: Chop veggies and make the sauce in advance.
Keep pita soft: Wrap in a damp paper towel while warming.
Flavor boost: Add a pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes if you like a little heat.
Meal prep: Cook double the beef mixture; it keeps well in the fridge for 3 days.
Presentation: Sprinkle fresh herbs on top for a vibrant finish.

Storage Instructions

Refrigerator: Store beef and sauce separately for up to 3 days.
Freezer: Cooked beef can be frozen for up to 1 month.
Assembling later: Keep vegetables and wraps separate until ready to eat to avoid sogginess.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these wraps vegetarian?
Yes! Substitute the ground beef with spiced lentils, chickpeas, or a plant-based meat alternative. The garlic yogurt sauce still adds richness.

Can I prep these ahead of time?
Absolutely. Cook the beef and make the sauce a day ahead. Assemble wraps just before serving.

How do I keep the pita soft?
Warm them wrapped in a slightly damp paper towel in the microwave or oven. Avoid direct heat too long, or they’ll get crispy.

Can I swap Greek yogurt for something else?
Yes, labneh, sour cream, or a dairy-free yogurt works well, though Greek yogurt has the creamiest texture.
