Thai Beef Pitas image

This is a tasty under 30 minute meal perfect for a busy day and made with ingredients usually on hand. The recipe serves the meat mixture in pitas, but flour tortillas or lettuce wraps would be a good choice too. The recipe is from Family Circle magazine.

This recipe is a waste of time. The pitas were bland and the beef was tough.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pitas turned out really dry. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to use a different type of bread. I found that the pitas were a little too dry for my taste.

I served these pitas with a side of jasmine rice and it was the perfect meal.

I'm not a fan of spicy food, so I omitted the chili peppers. The pitas were still very flavorful.

I made these pitas with chicken instead of beef and they were still delicious. I think this recipe would work well with any type of protein.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover beef. I used some leftover steak and it turned out great.
