Gyro Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Meat

    In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb or beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.

  2. 2

    Cook the Meat

    Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the meat mixture and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked, about 10-12 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

  3. 3

    Make the Tzatziki Sauce

    In a separate bowl, mix together Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, chopped dill, and lemon juice. Season with salt to taste.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Gyros

    Warm the pita bread in a skillet or microwave. Spread a generous amount of tzatziki sauce on each pita, add the cooked meat, and top with sliced tomato, red onion, and shredded lettuce.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Fold the pita around the filling and serve immediately, with extra tzatziki on the side if desired.
