Directions

To make the cucumber yogurt sauce: In small bowl combine yogurt, and cucumber, set aside. Finely chop garlic, sprinkle with salt and mash using the side of knife blade until paste. Add to yogurt mix. Add pepper, mint and lemon juice. Mix to combine. Set aside.

To make the patties: In small bowl combine bulgar and boiling water and set aside for at least 15 minutes or until softened. In large bowl combine red bell pepper, onion, parsley, mint, allspice, salt, pepper, egg white and olive oil. Mix to combine. Add ground beef and drained bulgar, mix to combine. Form into 6 oblong patties and refrigerate until ready to grill.

Preheat a gas grill to medium-high. Brush the grill rack with oil. Place the patties on the rack, cover, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side, until the desired doneness is reached. During the last minute of cooking, place the pita on the outer edges of the rack to warm.
To assemble the burgers, place shredded lettuce, 2-3 slices of tomato, red onion and feta cheese in center of pita. Drizzle with 1-2 teaspoons Greek Salad dressing. Top with meat patty and 1-2 tablespoons yogurt sauce. Fold left side of pita in toward center then fold in top and bottom of pita (finished wrap will look like an open-ended eggroll) Enjoy!!!
