Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ yellow onion, finely diced

- 1 lb ground beef (85% - 90% lean)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander

Instructions
- Cook the beef. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Season and brown. Add ground beef to the skillet. Sprinkle with cumin, smoked paprika, coriander, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook, breaking it up, until browned and cooked through.
- Add zucchini. Stir in diced zucchini and cook for 2–3 minutes, just until tender but not mushy. Finish with lemon juice. Remove from heat.
- Make the sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and salt until smooth.
