Method

Prepare the Gyro Meat

  1. 1

    Mix the Meat Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.

  2. 2

    Shape the Meat

    Form the meat mixture into oval patties or logs, about 1 inch thick.

  3. 3

    Cook the Gyro Meat

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and let rest.

Prepare the Tzatziki Sauce

    Combine Tzatziki Ingredients

    In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, dill, lemon juice, and salt. Stir until well blended.

  2. 5

    Chill the Sauce

    Cover the Tzatziki sauce with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

    Prepare the Pita

    Warm the whole wheat pita bread in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until soft.

    On each pita, layer some shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, and red onions. Slice the cooked gyro meat and place it over the vegetables.

  3. 8

    Add Tzatziki Sauce

    Drizzle the Tzatziki sauce generously over the gyro meat.
