Description
Delicious and customizable beef gyros wrapped in warm pita, topped with fresh veggies and tzatziki sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 3–4 pitas or flatbreads
- 1 cup tzatziki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- Fresh veggies (lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, cucumbers) for topping
Instructions
- Add the ground beef to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Use a wooden spoon to break it up while it cooks.
- Sprinkle in the oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper as the meat begins to brown. Stir well to combine and let cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the beef is fully cooked through.
- Prepare your veggies by thinly slicing the lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, and cucumbers. Arrange them on a large platter for easy assembly.
- Warm the pitas or flatbreads in a separate pan or directly over the open flame of your stovetop to make them soft and pliable.
- Remove the beef from the heat once cooked. Start assembling your gyros by placing a generous scoop of the beef mixture onto the warm pita.
- Top with a dollop of tzatziki sauce and add your preferred veggies. Feel free to drizzle extra tzatziki on top.
- Fold the pita over and enjoy!
Notes
Prepare the beef mixture in advance for a quicker meal. Use leftover beef in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
