- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef: Look for lean, but not too lean, ground beef for juicy, flavorful filling.
- 1 tsp olive oil: For sautéing and giving the beef mixture rich Mediterranean undertones.
- 1 small onion, finely chopped: Adds subtle sweetness and depth right at the start.
- 2 cloves garlic, minced: Don’t skip the garlic—it’s key for big, beautiful flavor.
- 1 tsp dried oregano: Classic Greek seasoning that gives the beef that unmistakable herby aroma.
- Salt and pepper, to taste: Essential for bringing out all the other flavors.
- 4 large flatbreads or pita wraps: Sturdy yet soft, the perfect vehicle for all your fillings.
- 1 cup Greek yogurt: Thick, creamy, and the heart of your luscious sauce.
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice: Brightens the sauce with fresh, tangy zing.
- 1 tsp lemon zest: Adds a burst of citrus fragrance that sets the yogurt sauce apart.
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped: Gives the sauce a signature Greek taste—use plenty for punchy herbiness.
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese: Salty, tangy, and creamy—don’t be shy with this one!
- 1 cup mixed greens or lettuce: Adds crunch and freshness for balance.
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved: Juicy pops of color and natural sweetness.

How to Make Greek Beef Wraps with Lemon Dill Yogurt & Feta
Step 1: Sauté the Onion and Garlic
Start by heating up olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Toss in your finely chopped onion and let it cook for about 3 to 4 minutes. When it turns soft and translucent, add the garlic and let it cook for another 30 seconds. The aroma filling your kitchen is your first taste of what these Greek Beef Wraps with Lemon Dill Yogurt & Feta are all about.
Step 2: Brown the Beef with Oregano
Add your ground beef to the skillet with the onion and garlic. Sprinkle in oregano, plus salt and pepper to your liking. Break up the beef as it cooks, making sure it browns and loses any pink color. This step infuses the meat with the classic Greek flavors, creating a savory, aromatic base for your wraps.
Step 3: Stir Together the Lemon Dill Yogurt
In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt with fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and that chopped dill. Stir everything together until smooth and creamy—this is where your wraps get their signature tangy, herby note. The lemon and dill absolutely shine when swirled with thick, luscious yogurt.
Step 4: Warm Your Flatbreads
Before assembling, warm your flatbreads or pita wraps. You can quickly heat them in a dry pan, straight over a burner, or wrap in foil and pop them in a low oven. This makes them soft and flexible, ready to cradle your juicy beef and bright toppings.
Step 5: Assemble Your Greek Beef Wraps with Lemon Dill Yogurt & Feta
Spread a generous layer of the lemon dill yogurt onto each warm flatbread. Top with your beef mixture, then scatter over crumbled feta cheese, mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and—if you want—some sliced cucumber and red onion. Roll up each wrap tightly, slicing in half if you like, and serve immediately. Every bite of these Greek Beef Wraps with Lemon Dill Yogurt & Feta is fresh, creamy, and packed with punchy flavor.
How to Serve Greek Beef Wraps with Lemon Dill Yogurt & Feta
Garnishes
Don’t be afraid to go bold with your finishing touches: a little more crumbled feta, a sprinkle of fresh dill, even an extra drizzle of olive oil makes these wraps shine. Some lemon wedges on the side not only look pretty but let guests amp up the citrus zing to their taste.
Side Dishes
Pairing is half the fun. Serve your Greek Beef Wraps with Lemon Dill Yogurt & Feta alongside a classic Greek salad, crispy oven potatoes, or a medley of marinated olives. If you’re in the mood for crunch, a simple cucumber salad or baked pita chips with hummus is always a winning move.
Creative Ways to Present
If you’re feeding a crowd, lay out all the elements buffet-style and let everyone build their own Greek Beef Wraps with Lemon Dill Yogurt & Feta. For a fun twist, try cutting the wraps into pinwheels for easy appetizer bites, or serve open-faced on flatbreads for a fork-and-knife version that’s just as delicious and a little more polished.
Make Ahead and Storage
Storing Leftovers
If you have leftovers, store each component separately for best results. Keep the cooked beef, yogurt sauce, and chopped veggies in airtight containers in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to eat, everything will still taste vibrant and delicious.
Freezing
While the fresh yogurt sauce and tomatoes are best enjoyed fresh, you can absolutely freeze the cooked beef in a tightly sealed container for up to three months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating and assembling new wraps.
Reheating
To reheat the beef filling, simply warm it gently in a skillet over low to medium heat until hot. Avoid microwaving the wraps fully assembled, as this can make the flatbreads rubbery—just assemble fresh with the reheated filling and cold toppings for the best Greek Beef Wraps with Lemon Dill Yogurt & Feta experience.
FAQs
Can I substitute ground lamb or chicken instead of beef?
Absolutely! Ground lamb will bring an even more traditional Greek flavor, while ground chicken is a lighter, slightly milder option. Both work beautifully with the lemon dill yogurt and feta, so use your favorite.
How can I make these wraps gluten-free?
Swap the flatbreads or pita for your favorite gluten-free wraps or lettuce leaves, and double-check that your feta is gluten-free. The rest of the ingredients are naturally gluten-free, so you won’t miss a beat.
What if I don’t like dill?
No worries—you can use fresh parsley or mint instead for a slightly different but equally fresh-tasting sauce. Each brings its own unique herbaceous pop to the yogurt base.
Can I make these wraps ahead for meal prep?
Definitely! Prepare and store all the elements separately—cooked beef, yogurt sauce, chopped veggies—then assemble your Greek Beef Wraps with Lemon Dill Yogurt & Feta just before eating for the freshest result all week long.
Are there dairy-free options for the sauce and cheese?
Try a plant-based Greek-style yogurt and a crumbly vegan feta to keep all the zesty, creamy flavors while making your wraps completely dairy-free.

Trust me when I say that Greek Beef Wraps with Lemon Dill Yogurt & Feta are a dinner worth adding to your regular rotation. Every bite is bright, fresh, and totally satisfying. Dive in, experiment with your favorite toppings, and most importantly, enjoy every flavor-packed moment!
