I serve this tasty variation on the traditional hamburger at backyard get-togethers. Similar to Greek gyros, the herbed ground beef patties are stuffed in pita bread with a yummy cucumber lettuce mixture. -Dorothy Wiedeman, Eaton, Colorado

The burgers were good, but the tzatziki sauce was a bit too tangy for my taste.

These pita burgers were a bit dry for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had used a juicier type of beef.

I'm not a huge fan of pita bread, but these burgers were surprisingly good. The beef was cooked perfectly and the toppings were all delicious.
