• 1.5 cups shredded Romaine lettuce

Instructions

1. 1

   Gather all ingredients.

2. 2

   Combine meat with garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper and mix until well incorporated.

3. 3

   Divide mixture evenly into 4 portions. Press each portion onto the top of 1 pita; press and spread meat almost to the edges.

   Toss lettuce, parsley, dill, pepperoncini, red onion, feta, lemon juice, and tzatziki together in a bowl until well combined.
