Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless leg of lamb or beef
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Tzatziki sauce
- 4 pieces Pita breads
- 1 medium Tomato, thinly sliced
- 0.5 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
Instructions
Start by marinating the meat. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Cut the lamb or beef into thin strips and add it to the marinade. Toss to coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Transfer the marinated meat to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 90 minutes, or until the meat is tender and slightly crisp at the edges.
While the meat is cooking, prepare the remaining ingredients. Thinly slice the tomato and red onion, and wash and dry the lettuce leaves.
Once the meat is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into smaller, bite-sized pieces.
To assemble the gyro wraps, lightly warm the pita breads in a dry skillet or in the oven for a few minutes if desired.
Spread a generous amount of tzatziki sauce on each pita bread.
Place some sliced meat onto the pita, followed by slices of tomato, onion, lettuce leaves, and a sprinkling of crumbled feta cheese.
Fold the pita bread around the filling to create a wrap.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade gyro wraps!
