Gozleme is a Turkish stuffed flatbread. Made the traditional way, large, thin sheets of unbaked dough are filled then cooked on a griddle-like pan. For ease, we use flour tortillas, fill them with a simple mixture of beef, spinach and feta, then toast them in the same skillet used to make the filling. To make this into a meal, serve a simple salad alongside.

Ingredients
  • 1

    pound 90 percent lean ground beef

  • 3

    tablespoons tomato paste

  • 2½

    teaspoons ground cumin

  • Kosher salt and ground black pepper

  • 5

    ounce container baby spinach, roughly chopped

  • 4

    ounces feta cheese, crumbled (¾ cup)

  • 4

    10-inch flour tortillas

  • 2

    teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

In a nonstick 12-inch skillet, cook the beef, tomato paste, cumin, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pepper and ½ cup water, until the beef is no longer pink. Add the spinach and cook, stirring, until the pan is dry. Transfer to a bowl; cool for 10 minutes, then stir the feta. Wipe out the skillet. Divide the mixture among the tortillas, spreading it over the center third; fold each like a business letter. In the skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil until shimmering. Add 2 tortillas and cook until golden on both sides, then transfer to plates. Repeat with the remaining oil and tortillas.
