In a bowl, combine ground beef, onion, garlic, olive oil, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
The mixture can be marinated for 2 hours, but as we are using mince it can be cooked right away. Use good quality and fresh beef mince for ultimate results.

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Shape the beef mixture into patties or crumble it into the pan.
Cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally. If you want to grill the mince simply form them into patties or put the mix onto skewers for easy grilling.

Warm the pita bread, then layer the cooked beef, sliced tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce, and feta cheese if desired. Top with tzatziki sauce before serving.
