Directions
Mix ground beef, garlic; lemon juice, oregano leaves; cumin, pepper, plum tomato, and parsley.
Form into 4 patties about ¾ inch thick.
Grill or broil, 4 inches from source of heat, for 3 minutes on each side for medium-rare.
Cut the top off each of four 6 inch whole-wheat pita pocket breads.
Turn the cut-off piece round side down; tuck inside to pocket bread to reinforce bottom.
Place a grilled burger in each pocket bread along with a romaine lettuce leaf and paper-thin slices from 1 small red onion.
