Preparation
Cook the beef
Thinly slice the celery. In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on high. Add the beef; season with ⅔ of the spices and S&P. Cook, breaking up the meat, 1 to 2 min., until beginning to brown. Add the celery, garlic and broccoli rice. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 min., until the beef* is cooked through and the celery has slightly softened.
Cook the kidney beans
Meanwhile, drain and rinse the kidney beans. Reduce the pan of beef to medium-high. Add the kidney beans and cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 min., until combined; season with S&P. Add the vinaigrette and cook, stirring constantly, 30 sec. to 1 min., until coated.
Make the salad
Meanwhile, quarter the cucumber lengthwise; slice crosswise into ¼ inch pieces. In a medium bowl, combine the cucumber, radishes, ¼ of the tzatziki, 1 tsp water (double for 4 portions), the remaining spices and S&P.
Warm the pita
Wrap the pita in slightly dampened paper towel. On a large plate, microwave, in 5 sec. increments, until just warm.
Plate your dish
Divide the pita between your plates. Top with the beef and kidney beans. Garnish with the salad and remaining tzatziki. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking ground beef to a minimum internal temperature of 71°C.
