  6. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a bowl.
  7. Wipe out the skillet and return to medium heat.
  8. Brush the pitas with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then lightly toast in the skillet, about 45 seconds per side.
  9. Arrange the pitas on a baking sheet and top evenly with the beef mixture.
  10. Transfer to the oven and bake 6 minutes.
  11. Whisk the remaining 1/4 cup yogurt, 1 tablespoon each olive oil and vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl.
