Gyro Ingredients

Method

Gyro Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb and ground beef. Add minced garlic, chopped onion, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

  2. 2

    Shape the Patties

    Form the meat mixture into oval or round patties, about 1 inch thick. You should have around 6-8 patties.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Gyros

    Warm the pita bread in a skillet or microwave. Place the cooked meat patties on the pita and top with shredded lettuce, sliced onions, diced tomatoes, and a generous drizzle of tzatziki sauce.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Fold the pita around the filling and serve immediately. Enjoy your homemade gyros!
