Ingredients

5 pita bread, cut into squares

¼ c butter, divided

1 ¼ pounds beef sirloin, cut into 2 inch strips

1 (15oz) can tomato sauce

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
2. Cut pita bread into squares and sauté them with 2 T of butter in a large skillet over medium heat, for 5 minutes.  Spread into 9x13” pan.
3. Melt remaining butter and sauté beef strips for 2-3 minutes.  Pour in the tomato sauce, cover and let simmer until the beef is cooked; about 5 minutes.
4. Pour the beef mixture over the pita bread cubes.  Cover with aluminum foil and bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes or until bubbly.

Tip:  I think Flatout wraps could be used instead of pita bread.  Also using less butter or get the wraps crispy in the oven would work fine. This would save on lots of the fat.

Add some veggies to this too and you have a complete meal.

Make sure the NI is changed for any subbing that may be done.
