- 6 pita rounds
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 1/2 cups hummus
- 1 cucumber, seeded and finely chopped
- 1/2 red onion, sliced thin

Preparation
- Preheat your grill to medium-high.

- Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the ground lamb and a pinch of salt. Cook until lamb is no longer pink, breaking it into pieces with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain and rinse off any excess grease.
- Add garlic powder, rosemary, oregano and pepper to lamb. Sauté until fragrant. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- To serve, layer pita, hummus and ground lamb. Top each pizza with cucumber, red onion, tomatoes, olives, banana peppers and feta. Drizzle Tzatziki dressing.
