SPICY BEEF PITAS



Spicy Beef Pitas image

This is from Every Day w/ Rachael Ray. It's inexpensive, easy and tastes great. I'm not a fan of bell peppers, so I used a bit of petite diced tomatoes for color and flavor.

This is a tasty under 30 minute meal perfect for a busy day and made with ingredients usually on hand. The recipe serves the meat mixture in pitas, but flour tortillas or lettuce wraps would be a good choice too. The recipe is from Family Circle magazine.
