Middle Eastern Sliders

From Everyday with Rachael Ray

4 pita breads
1 1/2 lbs. ground beef
1 tsp. ground cumin
Salt and pepper
1 romaine heart, thinly sliced crosswise
1 C. grape tomatoes, halved
1/2 C. dill pickle slices
1 T. Extra virgin olive oil
1 T. fresh lemon juice, plus lemon wedges for serving
3/4 C. store-bought hummus

1. Preheat a grill to medium-high. Stack the pitas and wrap in heavy-duty foil; place on the grill and cover to warm (I usually just microwave them, minus the foil)

2. In a large bowl, combing ethe beef with the cumin, 3/4 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper; shape into twelve 1/3-inch-thick patties. In another large bowl, combine the romaine, tomatoes and pickles; toss withe the olive oil and lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.

3. Remove the pitas from the grill. Transfer the beef patties to the grill, cover and grill for 2 minutes on each side for medium. Spread each pita with some of the hummus, then top with some of the salad and 3 patties. Serve with the lemon wedges.
