These pitas are packed with bright Mediterranean flavors thanks to creamy tzatziki layered under a filling of tender beef coated in za’atar—an herbaceous blend that highlights sumac, a gorgeous, tart red spice. The bold flavors are perfectly contrasted by our simple side salad of butter lettuce, crisp radishes, and sweet dates.

Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut off and discard the root end of the lettuce; roughly chop the leaves. Pit and roughly chop the dates. Halve the radishes lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise. Combine in a large bowl.
Separate the beef; pat dry with paper towels. Place in a bowl and season with salt, pepper, and the za’atar; toss to coat. In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned beef in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until browned. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, 1 to 2 minutes, or until browned on all sides. Add half the vinegar (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Cook, stirring frequently, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until combined and the beef is just cooked through. Turn off the heat.
While the beef cooks, if using the microwave, wrap the pitas in a damp paper towel and microwave on high 1 minute, or until heated through and pliable. Transfer to a work surface and carefully unwrap. If using the stove, heat a separate dry, medium pan on medium-high until hot. Working one at a time, add the pitas and warm 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until heated through and pliable. Carefully transfer to a work surface.
Fill the warmed pitas with the tzatziki, cooked beef, and a drizzle of olive oil. To the bowl of prepared salad ingredients, add the remaining vinegar and a drizzle of olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve the finished pitas with the salad. Enjoy!
