| 1. For the Sauce. | 2. Place the Plain Greek Non-fat Yogurt in a small bowl, add mint and cucumber and mix until well combined. Cover and chill until ready to serve. | 3. For the Burgers. | 4. Place the ground beef in a medium size bowl. Add the Onions, Jalapenos, Mint, Cumin, Garlic, and salt. Mix until well combined. Separate the beef mixture into two sizable softballs. Create and form to patties. | 5. Place the patties in a hot grill and cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until patties are done (160 F Degrees), turning once. | 6. Allow the patties to rest for 5-7 minutes. While they are resting prepare the pita pockets. Pull out the Yogurt sauce from the fridge and set aside. Place the 4 pita halves in the microwave 10-15 seconds or until soft & warm. Spread 1 Tbsp Hummus inside each pita half. Add a small amount of lettuce. Set aside. | 7. With a Knife Cut each rested beef Pattie in half. This should result in 4 beef halves. Place each halved beef inside each halved pita pocket. Spoon Yogurt sauce in for the final touch and enjoy. | 8. Helpful Tips: Jalapenos make a nice addition for flavor & heat, however if you are not a fan of heat, simply omit this ingredient. Most Pickled Jalapenos in a Jar are very mild. If using fresh Jalapeno be sure to remove the seeds. | 9. The yogurt sauce will usually be enough to fill all four prepared Pita Burgers. If you really like a lot of sauce double the yogurt recipe. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
