# Étapes de préparation:
01 -
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking for 2–3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
02 -
Add ground beef to the skillet. Break it apart with a spoon and cook until thoroughly browned, approximately 5–6 minutes. Drain excess fat, if necessary.
03 -
Stir in diced mushrooms and continue cooking until they are softened and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 3–4 minutes.
04 -
Sprinkle smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper over the mixture. Stir well to combine, then remove from heat.
05 -
Using a grater, grate the cucumber and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel. In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped dill, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth.
06 -
Gently heat the pita pockets in a dry skillet or microwave just until warm and pliable.
07 -
Stuff each pita pocket with the beef and mushroom filling. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly inside.
08 -
To melt the cheese, place assembled pitas under a broiler for 1–2 minutes or in a skillet over low heat until the cheese is melted.
09 -
Drizzle or spoon tzatziki sauce into each pita before serving.
