These were pretty good. We tried another "gyro" recipe before with ground beef that was definitely no sub for the real thing. These were so much better. We used traditional gyro toppings and made some tzatziki sauce. Definitely great when we need to satisfy that craving.

This is a great recipe! I have always made this using ground beef and added chopped cukes as one of the toppings. Yummy!
