Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (equivalent to 150 degrees Celsius).

Begin by preparing the meatloaf mixture: Combine ground beef, bread crumbs, paprika, a pinch of heat from cayenne pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt in a large bowl until everything is fully incorporated. Shape the mixture into a rectangular shape and press it firmly into an 8x8-inch baking dish.

Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake until it reaches a safe internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit (72 degrees Celsius), which should take approximately 2 hours. Use an instant-read thermometer to check the temperature, ensuring it reaches at least this level of doneness. Once cooked, set the meatloaf aside to cool for a minimum of 30 minutes; the longer it cools, the more manageable it will be to slice.

In a separate container, combine evaporated milk, sugar, and vinegar in a jar with a secure lid; give it a good shake to ensure everything is well blended. Set this mixture aside for later use.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and prepare it for frying. Slice the cooled meatloaf into thin strips and fry them in the hot skillet until they are nicely browned on both sides. Remove the meatloaf from the skillet and keep it warm, ready to be served.

To prepare the pita rounds for assembly, flick a small amount of water onto the hot skillet and cook the pita bread on each side until it is soft and pliable.
