Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by slicing the tomato and onion into thin slices. Chop the lettuce into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Cook the Gyros Meat

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the gyros meat until heated through, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Layer the Quesadilla

    On one pita bread, sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese. Add the cooked gyros meat on top, followed by slices of tomato, onion, and chopped lettuce. Crumble the feta cheese over the top before adding the remaining mozzarella.

  2. 4

    Top with Second Pita

    Place the second pita bread over the assembled ingredients, pressing down gently.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Cook the Quesadilla

    In the same skillet used for the gyros meat, cook the quesadilla over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the pita is golden brown and the cheese has melted.

Serving

  1. 6

    Slice and Serve

    Remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute. Slice into wedges and serve with your choice of tzatziki, BBQ, or marinara sauce.
