I am a sucker for a good gyro. I’m immediately taken back to our honeymoon four years(!) ago in Greece, when gyros and French fries were a daily meal…with a giant mug of Mythos. I recently ordered one from a restaurant and was so disappointed: it had no vegetables in it! Ever since I have been craving a true, delicious gyro loaded with veggies, feta cheese, tzatziki, and meat (of course). Although I do enjoy traditional gyro meat, sometimes I opt for a lighter version with chicken. I love how gyros can be as homemade as time allows (baking your own pitas or making homemade tzatziki) which makes them perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a true labor of love.

We made ours with the following ingredients:
Wrap: Whole wheat pita bread
Vegetables: Bell peppers, red onion, tomatoes, and cucumber
Toppings: Tzatziki, feta cheese, and kalamata olives
Meat: Chicken marinated with sea salt, garlic, black pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice and then grilled on the BBQ

So easy, right! Don’t forget the French fries!
