1. 1

   Gather all ingredients and equipment: a large mixing bowl, a skillet or griddle pan, a spatula, and a whisk for the sauce.

2. 2

   In the large bowl, combine the lean ground beef, finely diced onion, minced garlic, fresh chopped coriander, finely chopped green chillies, smoked paprika, black pepper, cayenne, and 2 tsp salt.

3. 3

   Mix the meat mixture thoroughly with your hands or a spoon until the spices are evenly distributed.

   Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The spices are distributed throughout the beef without compressing it too much.

4. 4

   Divide the mixture into five equal portions, weighing approximately 160 g each, and set aside.

5. 5

   Take each sliced pita bread and open it gently to form a pocket; spoon one portion of the seasoned beef into each pocket, pressing lightly to pack the filling.

   Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The filling is packed inside each pita pocket.

6. 6

   Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat (about 350°F/350°F) and lightly coat the surface with cooking spray or a drizzle of avocado oil.

7. 7

   Place the stuffed pitas in the hot pan, ensuring they lie flat; cook for 2–3 minutes on the first side until the pita is golden and crisp.

   Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The first side develops a crisp, golden surface.

   Flip the arayes and cook another 2–3 minutes, or until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (160°F) and the exterior is nicely browned.
