Ingredients
1 lb (450 g) ground chicken or lean ground beef
2 tbsp Lemon Dilly Dip Mix or Creamy Garlic Hummus Dip Mix
2 tsp grated lemon peel, (optional)
1 tsp oil
4 pitas
1 tomato
1⁄4 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 cups baby spinach or arugula
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, dip mix and lemon peel until well blended. Form into four patties.
Heat oil in a large, non-stick fry pan set over medium-high heat. When warm, add patties. Fry until brown and crispy around the edges, about 4–5 min per side, or until cooked through.
While burgers are cooking, toast pitas, if you wish. Cut tomatoes into wedges and measure cheese.
When burgers are done, slide onto warm pitas; top with spinach, tomato, cheese and additional toppings, as desired.
