The viral Smash Burger Tacos meet their Mediterranean match in this family-friendly recipe made with Snake River Farms Ground Beef. Think gyros, but in a fraction of the time, and topped off with homemade tzatziki sauce. It’s a 30-minute dinner winner!
Ingredients
For the tzatziki:
-
1/2 cup whole milk Greek yogurt
-
1/2 a medium cucumber, peeled
-
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
-
1 teaspoon minced garlic
-
1 tablespoon minced fresh dill
-
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
For the burgers:
-
1 pound Snake River Farms Ground Beef
-
4 whole pitas (uncut)
-
1 cup shredded romaine lettuce
-
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, roughly chopped
-
2 tablespoons diced red onion
-
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
Directions
Make the tzatziki:
Grate the cucumber on the small hole of a box grater. Squeeze the grated cucumber between your hands (or in a dish towel) to release as much moisture as possible.
Add the cucumber to a small bowl then stir in the yogurt, olive oil, garlic, dill, lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper. Set the sauce aside.
Make the burgers:
Divide the ground beef into four equal portions.
In a small bowl, combine the lettuce, tomatoes, red onion and feta cheese.
Once the ground beef is cooked to your desired doneness, top it with the salad mixture then drizzle it with the tzatziki and serve immediately.
