Instructions

Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 1 finely chopped medium yellow onion and 2 minced garlic cloves, sautéing for 4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Step 2: Add 1 lb ground beef, 1 tbsp mitmita, 1 tsp berbere spice blend, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to the skillet. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, for 8-10 minutes until browned and cooked through.
Step 3: Stir in 1 finely diced medium tomato and cook for an additional 3 minutes until softened and the mixture is well combined.
Step 4: Remove from heat and mix in 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley for freshness.
Step 5: To assemble, lay one 8-inch injera flatbread on a clean surface, spread about 1/4 of the spiced beef mixture evenly over the center, then roll tightly into a wrap. Repeat for remaining injera and filling. Serve immediately.
