Mediterranean-Inspired Burgers

On an impulse, I purchased a tzatziki sauce and some feta cheese a few days ago.  I’ve always liked the taste of this succulent sauce on gyros, but I didn’t know what to do with it at home.  Finally, inspiration struck. Here are two delicious recipes.

Mediterranean-Inspired Burgers

I cannot claim I know anything about authentic Greek food (I really don’t!), but here is my attempt to capture some of my favorite flavors.

Ingredients:

For the beef patties

1 lb. Ground Beef

1 Swanson Flavor Boost pack (beef)

1 egg

1/4 cup of bread crumbs

A pinch of pepper

Mix these ingredients listed above and make the burger patties.  My mix yielded 5 burgers. Cook according to your preferences.   

For the burgers

Buns (of course!)

Toppings

So delicious!

Lettuce or spinach (I used spinach)

Sliced tomatoes

Sliced cucumbers

Sliced red onions

Sliced roasted red peppers (I buy these in jars at BJ’s - delicious!)

Feta cheese

Le Grand Tzatziki Sauce

I piled the toppings in the order listed above, though I placed the patty on top of the feta cheese before I poured the tzatziki sauce on it.

Additional Meal: Chicken Wraps

Here is the miracle sauce!

Mix rotisserie or cooked chicken with chopped red onions and peppers, and add the tzatziki sauce to taste. 

I poured a generous amount of the chicken mix on top of lettuce and feta cheese on a wheat tortilla. Then, I tightly wrapped this tasteful mix. Delish!
