To make the sauce: Mix all ingredients together in a bowl.
To each tortilla, add approx a large golf ball size of beef mince and flatten out to completely cover the surface to the edges. Add more meat if you prefer a thicker patty. Sprinkle it with salt and pepper on top.
Preheat a large non-stick frying pan on high heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add 2-3 tacos, mince facing down. Cook for approx. 3-4 minutes, until the mince has browned, stuck to the tortilla and cooked through.
Flip over, lower the heat right down (so the tortillas don't burn), and let the bottom of the tortilla get nice and brown and slightly crispy.
Top the taco with tomato, cucumber, red onion, feta, shredded lettuce, mint & drizzle over the hummus sauce.

Notes
Cooking Tips for Beginners
Press the mince firmly onto the tortilla so it sticks well while cooking.
Adjust heat to prevent the tortillas from burning – high to crisp the meat side, low to crisp the tortilla base.
Prepare all toppings in advance for quick assembly.
Serving Suggestions
Serve with lemon wedges for extra zing.
Pair with a side of Greek salad or crispy potato wedges.
Add a spoonful of tzatziki or chilli sauce for extra flavour.
Make-Ahead or Prepare-Ahead Guidance
The hummus sauce can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the fridge.

FAQs
Can I use regular-sized tortillas? Yes, just adjust the amount of beef and toppings to suit the larger size.
Can I make these in the oven? It’s best to pan-fry to get the crispy beef layer, but you can try baking at 200°C for about 10-12 minutes, mince-side up.
Can I make these vegetarian? Yes – swap the beef mince for plant-based mince or smashed chickpeas.
