Easy Gyros by Erin

Anyone for Greek? Well, I ADORE a good greek Gyro (pronounced Yeero), and this recipe is very simple, fast, and delicious!

Gyro Meat:
1 lb. ground lamb (ground beef works just fine as well)
1 C. chopped sweet onion
1 C. shredded zucchini (optinal, but a great way to incorporate veggies!)
Greek Seasoning (found in the seasoning aisle at the grocery store)
2 Tbsp. oil

Pour oil in skillet and cook the onions for about 10 minutes, stirring often, until they are soft. Add the meat and brown. Add zucchini and cook for a few more minutes. Drain the excess grease (there will be more if you use lamb, lean hamburger will hardly have any oil at all.)

Place on a pita bread round. Top with shredded lettuce and sliced tomatoes. Top with yogurt sauce (below).

Yogurt Sauce:
1 C. plain, unsweetened yogurt
1 C. shredded cucumber
1/2 C. lowfat sour cream
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
Greek Seasoning
Salt and pepper

combine all ingredients in a bowl. Add greek seasoning to flavor, and salt and pepper if needed. Put on top of gyros, wrap and eat! Delicious!!!
