Perfect for a quick lunch or a laid-back dinner, these gyro wraps are as comforting as they are flavorful.
Begin by preparing the lamb. Cut the boneless lamb shoulder into thin strips.
In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, cumin, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
Add the lamb strips to the marinade and coat well. Let the lamb marinate for at least 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to penetrate the meat.
While the lamb is marinating, prepare the French fries. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 180°C (350°F).
Once the oil is hot, carefully add the frozen French fries and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 4-5 minutes. Fry in batches if necessary.
Remove fries with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Season with salt while still hot.
For the gyro, heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the marinated lamb strips to the pan in a single layer. Cook the lamb for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through.
Warm the pita bread in a dry pan or briefly in the microwave until pliable.
To assemble each gyro wrap, place a warmed pita bread on a flat surface.
Spread a generous tablespoon of tzatziki sauce over the bread. Layer with cucumbers, tomato slices, red onion, and some crumbled feta cheese.
Place a portion of the cooked lamb strips over the vegetables.
Roll the pita tightly around the fillings to create a wrap.
Serve the gyro wraps with a side of freshly cooked fries. Enjoy your meal!
