Steps
- Make Tzatziki Sauce. Place whole garlic in a small skillet without oil over medium-low heat and cook for about 2 minutes per side-lightly browned. Peel and chop finely. Combine garlic with yogurt, prepared cucumber, lemon juice, mint and salt to taste in a small bowl. Mix thoroughly. The sauce is better if allowed to chill for several hours before using.
- Combine beef, onion, 2 cloves garlic, 2 tsp salt, pepper, cumin, nutmeg, oregano and 2 tsp lemon juice. Divide into four equal portions and shape into oblong patties (3x6x1/2 inches). Refrigerate one hour. Grill patties.
- Spread tzatziki sauce down the center of the flat bread. Add lettuce, diced tomatoes, and the grilled patty. Fold the bread over like a sandwich. Wrap in foil to handle and eat more easily.
