Gyro Ingredients

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat

    In a mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb or beef with minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well until combined.

  2. 2

    Cook the Meat

    Heat a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Form the meat mixture into small patties or meatballs and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Tzatziki Sauce

    In a separate bowl, combine plain yogurt, diced cucumber, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Gyros

    Warm the pita bread in a dry skillet or microwave. Place a few patties on the pita, top with diced tomato, red onion, and a generous spoonful of tzatziki sauce. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Roll up the pita and serve immediately with extra tzatziki on the side.
