Cook
30 min

Ingredients

Filling

  • 400 g ground beef
  • 1 onion (small, finely diced)
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 fresh parsley (small bunch, finely chopped)
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 tbsp crushed tomatoes
  • 1 tsp sweet paprika
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Base

  • Large flour tortillas

Tomato glaze

  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2–3 tbsp water
  • pinch paprika

Yogurt sauce

  • 250 g Greek yogurt
  • 1 garlic clove (minced small)
  • Salt
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

Directions

  1. 1

    Finely dice the onion, garlic, and parsley. Combine them with the ground beef, tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, paprika, salt, black pepper, and olive oil.

  2. 2

    Spread the beef mixture in a thin, even layer over each tortilla.

  3. 3

    Cut into long strips about 3–4 cm (1¼–1½ inches) wide. Roll each strip into a tight spiral, then thread several spirals onto wooden skewers.

  4. 4

    In a small bowl, whisk together the tomato paste, olive oil, water, and paprika. Brush the skewers generously with the glaze.

  5. 5

    Bake at 190°C (375°F) for 25–30 minutes, or until the beef is fully cooked and the tortilla edges are crisp and golden.

  6. 6

    Meanwhile, mix the Greek yogurt with the garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.

  7. 7

    Spread the yogurt sauce onto a serving plate, place the skewers on top, drizzle with a little olive oil, and finish with freshly chopped parsley.
