Burek wraps a warmly spiced beef, potato, and onion mixture in thin, buttery phyllo that bakes up shatteringly crisp with a tender, savory center. The coiled, spiral shape makes each piece attractive and perfect for sharing. Serve hot for dinner or as a hearty snack alongside yogurt or a simple salad.

1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2

Cook and stir ground beef in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain the fat.
3

Stir in allspice, paprika, salt, and pepper.
4

Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and stir in potato and onion.
5

Stack two sheets of phyllo dough on a work surface.
6

Spoon 1/8 of the beef mixture along one long edge of the stack, then roll the phyllo around the filling into a tube.
7

Coil the tube into a snail shape and place it on an ungreased baking sheet.
8

Repeat to make seven more burek, placing the finished coils against each other to keep them from unrolling.

Brush melted butter over the tops.
