## Steps

1. Mix the minced beef with the onion, garlic, parsley, spices, salt and pepper.
2. Cut the pita breads in half and spread the beef mixture inside. Press down so the meat forms an even, thin layer over the bread.
3. Brush the bread with olive oil. Heat a frying pan over medium heat.
4. Fry the pita pockets for 4-5 minutes on each side. (5 min)
5. Make the lime yoghurt sauce: mix all the sauce ingredients and season with salt and pepper.
6. Serve the hot stuffed pita pockets with the yoghurt sauce.
