Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Make the cucumber-tomato salad

  • Peel the cucumber, if desired; cut the cucumber into ¼-inch pieces.
  • Cut away the core from the tomato; coarsely chop the tomato.
  • Finely chop, press, or grate the garlic. Set aside half for your protein.

In a medium bowl, stir together the red wine vinegar and 1 to 2 tablespoons oil. Add the cucumber, tomato, feta, and half the garlic and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Let stand, stirring occasionally, while you prepare the rest of the meal.

2

Prep and cook your protein

  • Cut a small corner from the protein packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel.

In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add your protein, season with salt and pepper and the Lebanese seven-spice blend, and cook, stirring and breaking up the ground meat, until the protein is lightly browned but not yet cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. 

Stir in the remaining garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Working in batches if needed, stir in the spinach and cook until just wilted and your protein is cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper. While your protein and spinach are cooking, prepare the yogurt and lavash.

3

Finish the spicy tahini yogurt; toast the lavash

  • In a small bowl, stir together the spicy tahini yogurt and 1 to 2 teaspoons oil.

On the stovetop directly over a flame, or in a dry medium frying pan over medium heat, warm the lavash, turning once, until lightly toasted, about 30 seconds per side. Alternatively, toast them in a toaster oven.

Serve

Transfer the lavash to individual plates. Top with your protein, spinach, and cucumber-tomato salad, then drizzle with as much spicy tahini yogurt as you like. Fold up to form “tacos” and serve.
