Ingredients

Salt
to taste
Black pepper
to taste
Lettuce
1 cup, shredded
Red onion
1/2, thinly sliced
Cucumber
1, thinly sliced
Tomato
1, thinly sliced
Pita bread
4 pieces
Lamb or chicken
1 pound, sliced
Olive oil
2 tablespoons
Garlic
3 cloves, minced
Lemon juice
2 tablespoons
Greek yogurt
1 cup

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a smooth and creamy tzatziki sauce. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  2. In a separate bowl, marinate the sliced lamb or chicken with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes to enhance the flavor.
  3. Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated meat for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) for chicken or 145°F (63°C) for lamb.
  4. While the meat is cooking, warm the pita bread in a toaster or on the grill for a few seconds on each side until soft and pliable.
  5. Spread a generous amount of the tzatziki sauce on each piece of warm pita bread.
  6. Layer on the cooked meat, followed by the sliced tomato, cucumber, red onion, and shredded lettuce to add a fresh crunch.
  7. Fold the pita bread in half to encase the filling, and secure with a toothpick if desired to hold everything together.
  8. Serve the Greek gyro wrap sandwiches warm, and enjoy the explosion of flavors!

Tips

  • 💡 For a spicier twist, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or some sliced jalapeños to the tzatziki sauce.
  • 💡 Feel free to substitute the meat with grilled vegetables for a delicious vegetarian option.
  • 💡 Experiment with adding feta cheese or olives for an extra layer of flavor.
