Method
Step 1
Using your food processor pulse the chopped onions, garlic, and jalapeno till finely minced. Add the tomatoes, and pulse again till incorporated.
Step 2
Add the ground beef. Pulse again. Add the tomato sauce, half the molasses and 1/4 cup olive oil. Mix again.
Step 3
Pour the mixture into a colander and allow the water to strain for ten minutes or until it is just slowly dripping. Mix in the rest of the molasses, 2 tbsp olive oil, and season to taste.
Step 4
Preheat the oven to 450 F. Slice the pita bread in half and coat the insides with olive oil.
Step 5
Flatten 1/4 cup of the meat mixture into each piece of pita bread. Coat the outside with olive oil.
Step 6
Bake for 12 to 18 minutes, flipping halfway through so both sides are crispy and meat is fully cooked. Serve with plain yogurt.
