Preparation

Step 1

1. Whisk tahini, lemon juice, water, and ½ teaspoon salt together in medium bowl. Add coleslaw mix and parsley and toss to combine. Combine beef, garlic, cumin, pie spice, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in separate bowl. Shape beef mixture into four 6 by 3-inch oval patties.

2. Place patties in 12-inch nonstick skillet and cook over medium-high heat until browned on bottom, about 4 minutes. Flip patties and continue to cook until browned on second side and just cooked through, about 2 minutes longer. Stuff each pita half with 1 patty, then divide cabbage mixture evenly among pita halves. Serve.
