Cooking Steps
Wash and dry produce.
Quarter lemon. Dice tomato into ¼-inch pieces. Quarter cucumber lengthwise; slice crosswise into ¼-inch-thick pieces. Halve pitas; gently pull apart to create pockets.
In a small bowl, whisk together a drizzle of olive oil, juice from one lemon wedge, salt, and pepper. Add tomato and cucumber; stir to combine.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add beef*, breaking up meat into pieces; stir in stock concentrate, half the Za’atar Spice (all for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.
Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.
While beef cooks, drizzle the outside of each pita half with olive oil, rubbing all over to ensure even coverage. Sprinkle all over with Everything Bagel Seasoning, pressing to adhere.
Return pan used for beef to medium heat. Add seasoned pita halves to pan; cook until lightly toasted, 2-3 minutes per side.
Meanwhile, in a second small bowl, mix together yogurt, hummus, 1 tsp water, and juice from one lemon wedge until combined (for 4 servings, use 2 tsp water and juice from two lemon wedges).
Spread insides of pita halves with yogurt hummus sauce (make sure to save some for drizzling on top!). Evenly divide beef between pitas; top with tomato-cucumber salad.
Divide pitas between plates. Drizzle with as much hot sauce and remaining yogurt hummus sauce as you like. Serve with remaining lemon wedges and any remaining tomato-cucumber salad on the side.

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Many loved the za'atar seasoning and everything bagel pitas, though some found the beef bland; adding feta cheese boosted flavor 🧀.
- Ease of prep: Quick and simple to make, but coating pitas with oil and seasoning was messy for some.
- Suggestions: Consider mixing everything seasoning into meat or sauce instead of on pitas; add more veggies and sauce for better balance.
- Portions: Several wanted more cucumber-tomato salad and sauce; some felt the meat portion was too large compared to other components.
- Texture: Pitas often broke or fell apart when filled; toasting them less or using thicker pitas might help.
