Gyros Recipe

So, for this gyro recipe, you'll need some pita bread, thinly sliced lamb or beef, yogurt, cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, garlic, and a handful of herbs and spices. That's right, it's a lot of ingredients, but trust me, it's worth it.

First, you'll want to marinate the meat in a mixture of yogurt, garlic, and herbs for at least a few hours. This step is crucial for getting that tender, flavorful meat that makes gyros so delicious. While the meat is marinating, you can prepare the tzatziki sauce by combining yogurt, cucumbers, garlic, and a bit of lemon juice.

Next, you'll want to thinly slice the onions, tomatoes, and any other veggies you want to add to your gyros. I remember my little one used to love helping me with this part, even though she made a mess of the kitchen every time.

Once everything is prepped, it's time to cook the meat. You can either grill it or cook it in a pan – the choice is yours. Just make sure to cook it until it's nice and browned on all sides.

Finally, assemble your gyros by placing the meat, veggies, and tzatziki sauce on a warm pita bread. I used to roll them up like little burritos and serve them to my daughter, who would always gobble them up in no time. Ah, those were the days. Enjoy your homemade gyros, and maybe one day, you'll be reminiscing about cooking them for your own little one.
