Indulge in the savory flavors of Greece with our Greek Gyro Wrap. Tender slices of seasoned meat, fresh vegetables, creamy tzatziki sauce, all wrapped in warm, soft pita bread. It’s a delightful culinary journey that’s both satisfying and delicious.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb thinly sliced lamb or chicken
- 4-6 pita bread rounds
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cucumber, peeled, seeded, and grated
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sliced tomatoes, onions, and lettuce for garnish
Instructions:
- Prepare the Tzatziki Sauce: In a bowl, combine Greek yogurt, minced garlic, grated cucumber, lemon juice, olive oil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Cook the Meat: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and cook the thinly sliced lamb or chicken until cooked through and nicely browned. Season with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of dried oregano for extra flavor.
- Warm the Pita Bread: Heat the pita bread rounds in a skillet or microwave until warm and pliable.
- Assemble the Gyro Wraps: Spread a generous amount of tzatziki sauce on each warm pita bread round. Top with slices of cooked meat, sliced tomatoes, onions, and lettuce.
- Wrap and Serve: Fold the sides of the pita bread over the filling and roll it up tightly into a wrap. Secure with a toothpick if necessary. Serve immediately and enjoy the delicious flavors of a homemade Greek gyro wrap!
Note: Feel free to customize your gyro wrap with additional toppings such as crumbled feta cheese, kalamata olives, or pickled peppers for an extra burst of flavor.
