Prepare the Veggies: In a pan, lightly sauté the diced onion, grated carrot, red bell pepper, and mushrooms until soft. Set aside to cool.
Mix Meat Base: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, smoked paprika, minced garlic, French seasoning, lemon pepper, chopped dill, and eggs. Mix well.
Add Veggies: Stir the cooled sautéed vegetables and chopped green onions into the meat mixture.
Form Patties: Shape the mixture into small patties or meatballs.
Cook: Grill or pan-fry the patties over medium heat until cooked through (about 5–7 minutes per side).
Make the Sauce: Mix mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard in a small bowl.
Assemble: Warm pita breads, spread some sauce, layer with lettuce leaves, tomato slices, pickles, and cooked patties.
Tips
Use lean ground beef for a healthier version.
Add chili flakes if you like it spicy.
Substitute pita with wraps or burger buns for variety.
Double the sauce if you like it extra creamy.
Variations
Add crumbled feta cheese to the meat mixture for a Mediterranean twist.
Swap mushrooms for zucchini or eggplant for a different texture.
Use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
