Gyro Sandwich Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat

    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

    Shape and Cook the Meat

    Form the mixture into elongated patties or kebab shapes. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and browned.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the meat is cooking, slice the tomato, cucumber, and red onion.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Gyro Sandwich

    Warm the pita bread in a dry skillet or microwave. Once warm, place the cooked meat in the center of each pita, and top with sliced tomato, cucumber, red onion, and a generous drizzle of tzatziki sauce.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Fold the pita over the filling, and serve immediately while warm.
