Ingredients

• 1 pound lean ground beef
• 1 medium red onion, finely chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 medium cucumber, diced
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
• 8 large romaine lettuce leaves
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped red onion, minced garlic, cumin, oregano, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef mixture and cook, stirring frequently, until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.

Step 3

While the beef is cooking, prepare the cucumber-tomato salad. In a bowl, combine the diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, fresh dill, red wine vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, and chopped parsley. Toss to combine and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4

To assemble the gyros, lay a lettuce leaf flat on a serving plate. Spoon a generous amount of the cooked beef mixture across the center of the leaf.

Step 5

Top the beef with a few spoonfuls of the cucumber-tomato salad for a refreshing contrast.

Step 6

Fold the sides of the lettuce leaf over the filling to create a wrap.

Step 7

Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 compliant beef gyros!
