Let's cook

Heat the oven to 200°C. Mix the beef with onion, bell pepper, cumin, salt and black pepper.
Open the breads at one edge and spread an even filling about 1 cm thick.
Brush both sides lightly with oil. Bake on a tray for 25–35 minutes, turning halfway.
Insert a food thermometer through the side into the centre of the meat: it must reach 71°C. If the bread browns early, cover loosely and continue cooking.

A helpful tip ✳

A thin layer of filling helps the meat cook before the bread burns.
