Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground lamb
- 250 grams ground beef
- 3 units garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium cucumber
- 200 grams plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 8 units iceberg lettuce leaves
- 0.5 unit red onion
- 1 medium tomato
- 1 medium avocado
- 1 head cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Grate the cucumber for the tzatziki sauce and squeeze out the excess water using a cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel.
In a bowl, combine the grated cucumber, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, chopped dill, and mix well. Refrigerate while preparing other ingredients.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb and beef, minced garlic, cumin, oregano, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly using your hands until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Form the meat mixture into a flat loaf on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the meat loaf in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until fully cooked through and slightly crisp on the outside.
While the meat is baking, prepare the fries. Cut the cauliflower into fry-shaped pieces or small florets.
Place the cauliflower fries onto another baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with paprika, salt, and pepper to taste. Toss to coat the cauliflower evenly.
Place the cauliflower fries in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and tender, flipping halfway through.
Once the meat loaf is baked, let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it thinly.
To assemble the gyro wraps, take a lettuce leaf and layer it with a few slices of the gyro meat.
Top with slices of red onion, tomato, and avocado.
Drizzle the prepared tzatziki sauce over the fillings and fold the lettuce leaf as a wrap.
Serve the gyro wraps immediately with a side of crispy cauliflower fries.
