Savory Mediterranean Beef & Dolma Pita Wraps

Ingredients

- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)
- 4 dolmas (grape leaves stuffed with rice)
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 4 pita breads
- 1 cup cooked white rice
- 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Rinse and chop the fresh dill, parsley, and cilantro. Set aside.
