Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a large bowl, combine the lean ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, paprika, ground cumin, ground coriander, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Add the low-fat plain yogurt to the mixture and mix thoroughly using your hands until all ingredients are well incorporated.

After 25 minutes, remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes until the top is browned and the internal temperature reaches 70°C (160°F).
Let the meat rest for 5 minutes, then slice it thinly using a sharp knife.
To assemble the kebabs, warm the whole wheat pita breads in the oven or microwave.
