Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion (grated)
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 pieces low-carb flatbread
- 1 cup lettuce (shredded)
- 1 large tomato (diced)
- 0.5 cup cucumber (sliced)
- 0.25 cup red onion (sliced)
- 0.5 cup tzatziki sauce
Instructions
Combine the ground beef, grated onion, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, allspice, salt, black pepper, and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly using your hands or a spatula until well combined.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Shape the meat mixture into a rectangular loaf about 1 inch high and place it on the prepared tray.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
While the beef is cooking, prepare the toppings. Shred the lettuce, dice the tomato, slice the cucumber and red onion, and set aside.
Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Slice the cooked beef into thin strips.
Warm the low-carb flatbreads in a skillet with a little olive oil over medium heat for about 1 minute on each side.
Assemble the donairs by placing a few beef slices in the center of each flatbread. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, sliced cucumber, sliced red onion, and a dollop of tzatziki sauce.
Wrap the flatbread up around the fillings, tucking in one end to create a pocket. Serve immediately.
