Preparation
Cook the bulgur
Preheat the oven to 450°F. In a medium pot, combine the bulgur, 1 ½ cups water and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 6 to 8 min., until the bulgur is tender and the water has been absorbed. Fluff and allow to cool slightly.
Start the sweet peppers
Meanwhile, core and cut the sweet peppers lengthwise into 1-inch pieces. On a lined sheet pan, toss with a drizzle of oil, ½ the spices and S&P. Roast, stirring halfway, 5 to 7 min., until beginning to soften.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, drain and rinse the kidney beans. Halve the cucumbers lengthwise; cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces. Cut the tomatoes into ½ inch wedges. Juice the lemon. In a large bowl, make the vinaigrette by combining the lemon juice, 4 tbsp oil, the remaining spices and S&P.
Finish the sweet peppers & roast the kidney beans
When the sweet peppers are beginning to soften, remove from the oven and add the kidney beans and ½ the vinaigrette; toss well. Roast, 3 to 5 min., until the beans are warmed through and the sweet peppers are tender.
Warm the pita & cook the beef
Meanwhile, wrap the pita in a slightly dampened paper towel. On a plate, microwave, in 10 sec. increments, until warm. In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the beef*; season with S&P. Cook, breaking up the meat, 4 to 6 min., until cooked through.
Make the salad & serve
To the bowl of remaining vinaigrette, add the cucumbers, tomatoes and bulgur; toss well. Divide the pita between your plates. Spread with the tzatziki. Top with the beef, sweet peppers and kidney beans. Tightly wrap the pita around the filling. Serve the salad on the side. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking ground beef to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
