Gyros Ingredients

Method

Gyros Directions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Meat

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Add the pork or chicken and coat well. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

  2. 2

    Cook the Meat

    Preheat the grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the meat from the marinade and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and nicely browned. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing thinly.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Gyros

    Warm the pita bread on the grill or in a pan for 1-2 minutes. Lay the sliced meat in the center of each pita, then top with diced tomatoes, sliced red onions, and a generous amount of tzatziki sauce.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Serve the gyros with a side of rice or fries. Enjoy!
