Greek Burgers with Cucumber Sauce

A yummy blend of burgers and gyros. Easy to make, too.

1 1/2 cups plain yogurt
1 package (1 oz) ranch dressing mix (or improvise with your own spice rack)
1 small cucumber, peeled, seeded, and diced
1 1/2 pounds ground beef chuck or ground lamb
6 regular-size pita pockets (6-inch)
6 leaves green lettuce
1 medium tomato, cored, seeded, and chopped

1. Combine 1 cup yogurt and the dressing mix in a medium-size bowl. Remove 1/2 cup to another bowl and reserve. To remaining yogurt mixture in bowl, add 1/2 cup plain yogurt and cucumber. Refrigerate until serving.
2. Heat broiler. Add ground meat to reserved 1/2 cup yogurt mixture; mix well. Divide into 6 equal portions; shape each into 3-1/2-inch patty. Place on broiler pan. (You can also cook them on a Foreman Grill, or your preferred burger cooking method.) Broil 5 inches from heat 7 minutes on each side or until internal temperature registers 160°F.
3. Cut off top quarter of each pita. Fill rest of each pita with lettuce, hamburger, cucumber-yogurt sauce, and tomato.
