Method

Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Marinade

In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Marinate the Meat

Add the chicken or lamb to the marinade, ensuring it is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best flavor.

Cook the Meat

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the meat from the marinade and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and slightly charred. Remove from heat and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

Assemble the Gyros

Warm the pita bread on the grill or in a pan. Slice the cooked meat and place it in the pita. Top with diced tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, and a generous spoonful of tzatziki sauce.

Serve

Wrap the pita around the filling and serve immediately. Enjoy your homemade chicken or lamb gyros!
