Method

Prepare Gyros

  1. 1

    Mix the Meat Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb or beef, minced garlic, finely chopped onion, oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

  2. 2

    Cook the Gyros

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the meat mixture and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, for about 8-10 minutes, or until fully cooked and browned. Remove from heat and set aside.

Prepare Tzatziki Sauce

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, and chopped fresh dill. Mix until smooth and season with salt to taste.

Assemble the Pita

    Fill the Pita

    Warm the pita bread slightly in a skillet or microwave. Spoon the cooked gyros mixture into each pita, then top with diced tomatoes, sliced red onion, and shredded lettuce.

    Drizzle the prepared tzatziki sauce generously over the top of the fillings in each pita.
