Weight-loss friendly

These delicious Mediterranean wraps are packed with seasoned lean beef, creamy feta, fresh vegetables, and eggs. Made with low-carb wraps instead of regular pita bread, they are high in protein, lower in carbs, and satisfying for a weight-loss meal.

Ingredients (4 servings)

For the beef filling:

• 1 lb (450g) lean ground beef (90–95%)
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp paprika
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• ¼ tsp chili flakes (optional)

For the wraps:

• 4 low-carb, high-protein tortillas (check net carbs)
• 4 large eggs
• ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1 cucumber, sliced
• 2 medium tomatoes, sliced
• ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
• ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

1. Cook the beef: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and chili flakes. Cook for 7–10 minutes, breaking it apart until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat if needed.
2. Cook the eggs: In a separate nonstick pan, cook the eggs to your preference. Scrambled or fried eggs both work.
3. Prepare the vegetables: Combine cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, parsley, and lemon juice in a bowl.
4. Warm the wraps: Heat low-carb tortillas in a dry skillet for 20–30 seconds per side.
5. Assemble: Add seasoned beef, egg, cucumber-tomato salad, and crumbled feta to each tortilla.
6. Fold and serve: Fold tightly and lightly toast in a skillet for 1–2 minutes per side until golden.
