- 12 teaspoon dried mint
- 12 teaspoon dried oregano
- 12 teaspoon cumin

Method
- Place rice and 1 1/3 cup water in medium saucepan.
- Cover and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 14 minutes.
- Do not stir or lift cover.
- Remove from heat and let steam, covered for an additional 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, brown beef and garlic in a large, non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Drain on paper towels to remove all fat.
- You may use a mesh strainer, as I do.
- Return meat/garlic mixture to skillet and add mint, oregano, cumin and salt.
- Cook over medium heat 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat.
- Add the yogurt and the cooked rice, mixing well.
- Spoon onto center of warm tortilla, top with lettuce and roll up.
- Note: you can warm the tortillas in the microwave oven.
- Lay them flat and heat them at medium power for 45-50 seconds.
- Check about half-way through, and be sure not to over-heat them.
- All microwave ovens heat differently.
- You can also warm them in the oven at 250 by wrapping them in aluminum
- foil and heat in 250 oven for 10 minutes.
