• 6 pita bread rounds
• 0.5 teaspoon salt

• 1.5 teaspoons paprika
• 0.33333334326744 cup vinegar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).

Step 2

Prepare meatloaf: Mix together beef, bread crumbs, paprika, cayenne pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt in a large bowl until well combined. Press into an 8x8-inch baking dish.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through, about 2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of meatloaf should read at least 160 degrees F ( 72 degrees C.) Set aside until cool enough to slice, at least 30 minutes; the longer it cools, the easier it will be to slice.

Step 4

Make sauce: Combine evaporated milk, sugar, and vinegar in a jar with a lid; shake well to blend. Set aside.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cut meatloaf into thin slices and fry in the hot skillet until browned on each side. Remove from the skillet and keep warm. Flick a little water onto the hot skillet and brown pita rounds on each side to soften.

Step 6

Layer meatloaf slices, tomatoes, and onion down the center of each pita round. Drizzle with sauce. Fold pitas in half towards the center.
