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!!!

This recipe really should be called "Pepper Cheese Quiche" because it has delicious roasted red bell peppers and tons and tons of...
