directions

  • Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl.
  • Form the meat into thin, oblong patties.
  • You can fry, bake or charcoal grill them, depending on your taste preference.
  • Sandwich Ingredients.
  • cooked lamb meat.
  • Fried Greek Pita Bread.
  • Tzatziki.
  • sliced onions.
  • sliced tomatoes.
  • To assemble the sandwich:

  • Fry a pita in a hot skillet with a dash of olive oil, just until golden on each side. Take the pita and add your meat to the center. Top it with tzatziki, sliced tomato, onions and a sprinkle of parsley. Roll the pita up, and you have Gyro!
  • These are messy sandwiches, so if you’d like to keep it neat, wrap a piece of waxed paper over the bottom half of the sandwich to keep the juices from running down your hands.
