The sweet yet spicy Korean spiced meat, blended with fresh and crunchy Pico de Gallo, feta cheese, and lemon and dill sour cream, makes a refreshing yet filling Greek inspired pita that you will come to crave. Included is my homemade Korean spice recipe which is used to season the ground beef and can also be save to use for future meals. The combination of flavors produced here creates an umami like no other.
