Ingredients
  

For the Meat Filling:
  • * 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • * 1 lb 450g lean ground beef (85/15)
  • * 1 medium yellow onion finely chopped
  • * 3 cloves garlic minced
  • * 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • * 1 tsp dried oregano
  • * 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • * 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • * 1/2 tsp salt
  • * 1/2 tsp black pepper
For Assembly & Baking:
  • * 2 large flour tortillas or large lavash / puff pastry sheets
  • * 1 cup low-moisture mozzarella cheese shredded
  • * 1/2 cup Greek feta cheese crumbled
  • * 1 large egg beaten (for egg wash)
  • * 2 tbsp fresh parsley finely chopped (for garnish)
For Dipping:
  • * 3 tbsp Mediterranean Garlic-Harissa Chili Oil or Tzatziki

Method
 

  1. Heat 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
  2. Add the ground beef and cook for 6-8 minutes, breaking up clumps, until fully browned. Drain excess fat.
  3. Stir in tomato paste, oregano, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 2 minutes, then remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes.
  4. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. Lay tortillas flat. Spread the cooled meat filling evenly across tortillas, leaving a 1-inch border along the edges. Top with mozzarella and crumbled feta.
  6. Roll tortillas tightly into logs. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
  7. Brush the tops generously with beaten egg wash.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until deeply golden brown and crisp.
  9. Rest for 5 minutes, garnish with fresh parsley, slice into pinwheels, and serve warm with harissa chili oil.

Notes

* To make in an Air Fryer, cook at 375°F (190°C) for 8-12 minutes until crispy.
* Cool the cooked filling before rolling to prevent soggy tortilla bottoms.
