Notes

For extra flavor, you can add chopped onions and garlic to the ground beef while it cooks. Feel free to use other vegetables like bell peppers or olives to customize your pita pockets. If you want a little spice, add some red pepper flakes to the beef while it cooks. You can also use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef for a lighter option, and hummus can be swapped for tzatziki sauce for a different taste.
