Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (lean)
- 0.75 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 2 tsp Granulated garlic
- 1 tsp Onion powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Ground oregano
- 1 tsp Ground black pepper
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Ground cayenne pepper
- 0.5 cup Sweetened condensed milk
- 0.25 cup White vinegar
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 4 pieces Gluten-free pita or flatbread
- 1 cup Tomatoes (diced)

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, gluten-free breadcrumbs, granulated garlic, onion powder, paprika, oregano, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper.
Mix well using your hands until all the spices are thoroughly incorporated into the beef.
Shape the meat mixture into a tightly packed loaf and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake the donair meat in the oven for 50-60 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
While the donair meat is cooking, prepare the sweet donair sauce by mixing sweetened condensed milk, white vinegar, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and set aside.
Once the meat is cooked, let it rest for 10 minutes, then slice it thinly using a sharp knife.
Warm the gluten-free pita or flatbread in a dry skillet or microwave.
Assemble the donair by layering the sliced donair meat, diced tomatoes, and diced onions on the warmed pita or flatbread.
Drizzle generously with the sweet donair sauce.
Fold the pita into a wrap and serve immediately. Enjoy your gluten-free traditional donair!
