Carefully place the assembled pita sandwich into the preheated panini press. Cook until the pita is golden brown and crispy on both sides, and the ground beef is fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. If using a skillet, cook for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing down with a spatula to ensure even contact.
