Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

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

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

    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.

  4. 4

    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.

  5. 5

    Serve

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