Step 1
Thinly slice the 1 medium onion and 2 tomatoes. Tear the 4 cups lettuce into bite-size pieces and arrange on a serving platter.
Step 2
Heat the 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the 1 lb ground lamb or beef and 1 tsp salt; cook, breaking up the meat, until browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes.
Step 3
Spoon the hot meat over the lettuce, tomato, and onion. Serve immediately, with optional yogurt or pita if you like.
Step 4
For extra flavor, stir in a pinch of cumin or paprika while cooking the meat, if you have them.
