Method

Cooking the Gyro Meat

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat Mixture

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

  2. 2

    Form and Cook the Gyros

    Shape the meat mixture into oval patties or logs. 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 skillet and let them rest.

Making the Tzatziki Sauce

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, chopped dill, lemon juice, and salt. Stir well until all ingredients are mixed smoothly.

  2. 4

    Chill the Sauce

    Cover the tzatziki sauce and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Assembling the Gyro Pita Sandwich

  1. 5

    Prepare the Pita

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

  2. 6

    Fill the Pita

    Slice the cooked gyro meat and place it inside the warm pita. Top with sliced tomato, red onion, shredded lettuce, crumbled feta cheese, and a generous drizzle of tzatziki sauce.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Wrap the pita sandwich in parchment paper or foil for easier handling and serve immediately.
