This recipe is similar to the flavors of Greek souvlaki, but is much quicker and easier to make. It takes less than 15 minutes from start to finish. This version features lean ground beef that's spiced with garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper, as well as a simple, delicious cucumber-yogurt sauce. Top it all off with some fresh mint for added brightness, texture, and color. You can serve the beef and yogurt sauce with whole wheat pita or tortillas alongside for a build-your-own-adventure-type dinner, if desired.
