Gyro Recipe

We use chicken or pork cut in strips for this gyro recipe. It is topped with a cucumber yogurt sauce and served in a flat bread, pita bread or tortilla.  Both parts of this recipe need to marinade so it is a great make ahead recipe. All you need to do at dinnertime is cook marinated meat. You can serve with carrot, pepper and cucumbers sticks as the yogurt dressing makes a good vegetable dip.

We have a second beef gyro pita sandwich recipe that is great stuffed in a pita shell or tortilla.
