Cooking Light‘s Mediterranean-inspired flatbread uses budget-friendly lean ground beef simmered slowly in a tomato sauce. Serve on a crispy flatbread with refreshing yogurt sauce and you’ll have a main course that’s hard to resist. Experiment with ground lamb or turkey for a different flavor profile. You can make the meat filling ahead of time, then reheat and assemble when you’re ready to serve.
Beef Flatbread with Yogurt Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 (6-ounce) container plain 2% reduced-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3/4 teaspoon black pepper, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 4 whole-grain flatbreads (about 100 calories each)
- 1 medium cucumber
- 12 ounces 90% lean ground beef
- 1 (14.5-ounce) can unsalted Italian-style diced tomatoes
Directions
Preheat broiler to high.
Combine yogurt, olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 1/8 teaspoon salt; stir until well mixed.
Cut each flatbread in half at the fold. Broil 1 minute or until toasted, turning after 30 seconds.
Cut cucumber in half lengthwise. Place cut side down, and cut into 1/4-inch slices.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef to pan, stirring to crumble. Add tomatoes to pan; cook 6 minutes. Stir in remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper and remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt.
Spread 1 tablespoon yogurt mixture on each flatbread half; divide beef mixture evenly among flatbreads. Top evenly with cucumber slices and remaining yogurt mixture.
