Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground beef
• 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 medium Onion
• 1 medium Red bell pepper
• 200 grams Cherry tomatoes
• 100 grams Black olives
• 100 grams Feta cheese
• 0.5 bunch Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Oregano
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 Whole wheat tortillas
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Peel and finely chop the garlic and onion. Dice the red bell pepper and halve the cherry tomatoes. Chop the black olives and crumble the feta cheese. Finely chop the fresh parsley and set aside.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and onion, sautéing them for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften and become fragrant.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the skillet, cooking until browned and breaking it apart with a spatula. This should take about 8-10 minutes.

Step 4

Once the beef is browned, reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the red bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, and black olives to the beef. Stir well to combine.

Step 5

Sprinkle the oregano, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper over the mixture. Stir to evenly coat everything with the spices. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the flavors are well combined.

Step 6

Warm the whole wheat tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave as per preference.

Step 7

To assemble the burritos, lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon a generous portion of the beef and vegetable mixture onto the center of the tortilla.

Step 8

Top with crumbled feta cheese and a sprinkle of fresh parsley. Drizzle a little lemon juice over the filling for a fresh zingy taste.

Step 9

Fold the sides of the tortilla towards the center, then roll to enclose the filling completely, securing the edges.

Step 10

Repeat the assembly with the remaining tortillas.

Step 11

Serve each burrito warm and enjoy your Mediterranean Diet Meatloaf Burrito!
