Traditional Gyro Cones Recipe

Gyro Cones Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Meat Mixture

   In a large mixing bowl, combine ground lamb or beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

2. 2

   Form the Meat Cones

   Shape the meat mixture into cone-like shapes suitable for grilling. Ensure they are compact to hold their shape during cooking.

3. 3

   Cook the Gyro Cones

   Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the meat cones and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side until they are browned and cooked through. Ensure they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).

4. 4

   Prepare Pita Bread

   Warm the pita bread in a dry skillet or wrap them in aluminum foil and place in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 5 minutes until soft and warm.

5. 5

   Assemble the Gyros

   Slice the cooked meat cones into thin strips. Lay the warmed pita bread flat, add a few strips of meat, and top with tzatziki sauce, sliced tomato, shredded lettuce, and crumbled feta cheese.

6. 6

   Serve

   Wrap the pita around the filling and enjoy your traditional gyro cones immediately while they are warm.
