Preparation

Place the milk in a shallow bowl and dunk each piece of bread in and then squeeze the excess liquid out.
Tear the bread into chunks and place in a large bowl.
Add the Greek Booster, beef, onions, mint and eggs into the bowl with the bread and mix well by hand until thoroughly combined.
Roll out meat into balls about 1.5 inches in diameter.
Cook the meatballs on a grill for about 8 minutes, rotating every 2 minutes to ensure that they do not burn.
Slice open mini pita breads, and spoon tzatziki dip on bottom half of the pita.
Place a meatball on top of the tzatziki, close the slider and serve.

TZATZIKI

Combine the greek yogurt with the Greek Booster, cucumber, and fresh dill. Mix thoroughly and keep chilled until serving.

Chop up tomatoes, cucumber and red peppers into small cubes and season with lemon juice and olive oil. Spoon a tablespoon of the mixture on each mini pita pocket.
