Ingredients & Cooking

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound Ground Beef
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, chopped
  • 4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
  • 1/3 cup crumbled herb-flavored feta cheese
  • 1/3 cup prepared regular or reduced fat non-creamy Italian dressing or other vinaigrette
  • 1/4 cup Kalamata or ripe olives, chopped
  • 4 pita breads, toasted

Cooking:

  1. Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add Ground Beef and bell pepper; cook 8 to 10 minutes, breaking into 3/4-inch crumbles and stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Pour off drippings.
  2. Cook's Tip: Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed ground beef. Ground beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F. Color is not a reliable indicator of ground beef doneness.
