Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a small bowl, mix 1 cup Greek yogurt, 1 tsp garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. Grate half the cucumber and squeeze out excess water, then stir it in. Set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Slice the remaining cucumber, 1 tomato, and 1/2 red onion. Tear 2 cups lettuce. Set aside.

  3. Step 3

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb gyro meat and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and heated through, about 6-8 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Warm 4 pita breads in the skillet or microwave for 30 seconds until soft and pliable.

  5. Step 5

    Serve the meat with warm pita, fresh veggies, and the tzatziki sauce on the side. Add hot sauce if you like.
