Gyro Ingredients

Method

Gyro Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, ground beef, minced garlic, finely chopped onion, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

  2. 2

    Cook the Meat

    Form the meat mixture into patties or logs. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Alternatively, you can grill them.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Tzatziki Sauce

    In a bowl, mix the tzatziki sauce with finely chopped cucumber, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Gyro

    Warm the pita bread on a skillet or in the oven. Layer the cooked meat, lettuce, tomato, and cucumber on the pita. Drizzle with tzatziki sauce and sprinkle feta cheese on top.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Plate the gyros with a side of fries, rice, or as a Greek salad option. Enjoy your meal!
