- 2 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Oregano, dried
- 1 medium Cucumber, peeled and grated

Instructions
Begin by marinating the chicken: In a bowl, combine olive oil, low sodium soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, and oregano. Slice the chicken into thin strips, add to the marinade, and let sit for at least 20 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator).
While the chicken marinates, prepare the tzatziki: Squeeze excess moisture from the grated cucumber and place it in a bowl. Mix with Greek yogurt, dill, mint, and black pepper. Stir well and refrigerate until ready to use.
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) for the fries.
Prepare the fries: Wash and cut potatoes into thin strips. Place on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with smoked paprika, and toss to coat evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until golden and crispy, flipping halfway through cooking.
Cook the chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Remove chicken from marinade and cook in the skillet for about 5-6 minutes per side until fully cooked and golden brown.
Assemble the gyros: Warm the whole wheat pita bread in the oven for a few minutes. Then, spread a generous amount of tzatziki on each pita, top with cooked chicken, tomato slices, red onion, and shredded lettuce.
Serve each gyro wrap with a side of crispy baked fries.
