Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat Mixture

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

  2. 2

    Cook the Meat

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the meat mixture and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.

  3. 3

    Warm the Pita Bread

    While the meat is cooking, warm the pita bread in a dry skillet or in the oven until soft and pliable.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Gyros

    To assemble, place a generous portion of the cooked meat on the warm pita bread. Top with sliced tomato, red onion, cucumber, and a dollop of tzatziki sauce.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Fold the pita over the filling and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious gyro sandwich!
