• 2 cups shredded green cabbage
• 1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

1. 1

   Brown ground beef and diced onion in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking up meat with a spoon, until no pink remains, about 5 minutes.

   Season beef mixture with salt and pepper, then transfer to a plate and let cool slightly, about 2 minutes.

3. 3

   Layer two phyllo sheets, brush lightly with olive oil between them, then spoon 2 tbsp beef filling into one corner and fold into a triangle.

4. 4

   Repeat with remaining phyllo sheets and filling to make 4 fatayer total, then arrange on a baking sheet and brush tops with oil.

5. 5

   Bake at 400°F until golden brown and crispy, about 12 minutes, rotating pan halfway through.
