Method

Pita and Filling Preparation

Cook the Beef

In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Drain excess fat.

Prepare the Vegetables

While the beef is cooking, wash and prepare the lettuce, dice the tomato, and thinly slice the red onion.

Warm the Pita

In a separate skillet or on a grill, lightly toast the pita bread on each side for about 1-2 minutes until warm.

Assemble the Gyros

In each warmed pita, add a generous spoonful of cooked beef, followed by a sprinkle of mixed cheese, lettuce, diced tomatoes, and red onions.

Tzatziki Sauce Preparation

Combine Ingredients

In a bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, salt (to taste), and chopped dill. Stir until well combined.

Serve

Serve the tzatziki sauce alongside or drizzled over the assembled gyros.
