🌯 Mediterranean Ground Beef Pita Wrap with Hot Honey Feta Cream
📝 Description
This wrap is bold, juicy, and packed with Mediterranean flavor. Spiced ground beef is cooked until perfectly browned, then tucked into warm pita bread with crisp veggies. The real star is the hot honey feta cream—a creamy, tangy, slightly spicy sauce that melts into the beef and ties everything together. It’s a perfect balance of savory, fresh, and a little sweet heat.
