- 2 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp cayenne
- 4 pita bread
- white sauce
- red sauce
- 1 tbsp harissa paste

## Instructions

1. Grate an onion, scoop it up, and squeeze out all the water using your hands.
2. Put the squeezed onion in a bowl with a pound of ground beef.
3. Add 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper, 2 tsp paprika, 0.5 tsp cayenne, 1 tsp garlic, 2 tbsp yogurt, and 1 tbsp Turkish pepper paste to the bowl.
4. Mix the ingredients thoroughly with your hands.
5. Place parchment paper on the air fryer rack, ensuring it fits the dimensions.
6. Spread a thin layer of the meat mixture onto the parchment paper.
7. Place a second sheet of parchment paper on top of the meat.
8. Roll the meat mixture to be paper thin using a rolling pin or a bottle.
9. Load the rolled meat into the air fryer.
10. Air fry at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
11. After cooking, save the drippings from the cooked meat; this is referred to as 'liquid gold'.
12. Peel off the top layer of parchment paper from the cooked meat before rolling it up.
13. Rip the cooked meat into desired pieces.
14. Prepare pita bread by cutting a sliver and separating the two layers, then placing them rough side up.
15. Spread white garlic sauce on the pita bread.
16. Add homemade hot sauce (recipes available on profile).
17. Place a good handful of the donair meat and a couple of pickles onto the pita.
18. Wrap up the pita.
19. Add 1 tbsp harissa paste (or tomato paste) to the saved 'liquid gold' drippings.
20. Spread the harissa-infused 'liquid gold' on the outside of the pita wrap.
21. Heat a pan on super low heat (like 3 out of 10).
22. Pour some of the 'liquid gold' into the pan.
23. Place the wrap seam side down in the pan to mop up the 'liquid gold', then pour more on top.
24. Cut open the wrap to serve.

## Tips

- Squeeze out all water from grated onion.
- Turkish pepper paste is a secret ingredient that takes the flavor to the next level.
- Mix the meat mixture thoroughly with hands for best results.
- Roll the meat mixture very thin, even if it creates holes, as it will be ripped into pieces.
- Save the top sheet of parchment paper for reuse.
- Don't touch food with dirty meat hands; use one hand for rolling.
- Save the doner drippings ('liquid gold') for later use to add flavor to the wrap.
- To crisp up the pita, add harissa paste to the 'liquid gold' and cook seam-side down on low heat.
