How to Make Easy Armenian Style Pita Sandwiches

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a 10-12 inch skillet over medium heat. Add 1 pound of ground beef (or bison) and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and no pink remains (about 8-10 minutes).
  2. Drain off any excess grease from the skillet.
  3. Add one packet (1 ounce) of dry onion soup mix and 1/2 cup of water to the skillet.
  4. Stir well to combine the ingredients.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the onion is tender. Stir occasionally, ensuring to replace the cover after each stir.
  6. Remove from heat.
  7. Stir in 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt.
  8. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until heated through. Do not boil. Remove from heat if necessary to prevent boiling.
  9. Stir in 1/4 cup of chopped fresh mint. Cover and let sit for another 3-5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  10. Spoon the meat mixture into warm pita bread halves.
  11. Add sliced fresh tomatoes to the pita sandwiches, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
