These were absolutely SCRUMPTIOUS! I had these on nan (which is a little softer than the pita) with some feta cheese and a slather of yogurt and a little chopped onion. The pine nuts gave a nice little crunch there! I really like these a LOT! They almost tasted like a gyro (one of my favorites)! Thanks, Canarygirl!

Outstanding flavour combination Canarygirl, thank you. We ate this for dinner tonight with Angela Sara's Fattoush-bread Salad and homemade spicy potato wedges. So tasty. We served it with low-fat natural yoghurt and hummus as a sauce. The ground beef was VERY low fat, so next time we make this, I will add a couple of slices of bread cubed and soaked in water to the mix.
