• 10.25 lb ground beef
• .250.0625 cup red onion, minced
• 20.5 cloves garlic, minced
• 20.5 tsp salt
• 10.25 tsp black pepper
• 1.50.375 tsp cumin
• .250.0625 tsp nutmeg

Tzarziki Sauce:

• 10.25 cup Greek-style yogurt
• 41 cloves garlic, roasted and finely chopped
• .250.0625 cup peeled, seeded, finely chopped cucumber
• .50.125 lemon, juiced
• 20.5 tsp finely chopped fresh mint
• Salt to taste

Steps

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
