Gyros Chimi Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Meat Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb or beef with finely chopped onion, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Cook the Meat
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meat mixture to the skillet and cook until browned, about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Warm the Tortillas
While the meat is cooking, warm the flour tortillas in a separate pan or microwave until soft and pliable, about 30 seconds in the microwave.

Assemble the Gyros Chimi
Once the meat is cooked, place a generous amount of the meat mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Roll the tortillas tightly around the filling to create a gyro wrap.
