Gyro and Pita Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Gyro Meat

    In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, chopped onion, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

  2. 2

    Shape and Cook the Meat

    Form the mixture into small patties or kebabs. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.

  3. 3

    Warm the Pita

    While the meat is cooking, warm the pita bread in a separate pan or wrap them in aluminum foil and place them in the oven at low heat for about 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Gyro

    Once the meat is cooked, place it inside the warm pita bread. Top with tzatziki sauce, sliced tomato, shredded lettuce, and cucumber slices.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the gyros immediately while warm, with additional tzatziki on the side if desired.
