Ingredients

• 1 pound Boneless leg of lamb or beef
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Tzatziki sauce
• 4 pieces Pita breads
• 1 medium Tomato, thinly sliced
• 0.5 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
• 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 0.5 cup Feta cheese, crumbled

Directions

Step 1

Start by marinating the meat. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Cut the lamb or beef into thin strips and add it to the marinade. Toss to coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 4

Transfer the marinated meat to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for about 90 minutes, or until the meat is tender and slightly crisp at the edges.

Step 6

While the meat is cooking, prepare the remaining ingredients. Thinly slice the tomato and red onion, and wash and dry the lettuce leaves.

Step 7

Once the meat is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into smaller, bite-sized pieces.

Step 8

To assemble the gyro wraps, lightly warm the pita breads in a dry skillet or in the oven for a few minutes if desired.

Step 9

Spread a generous amount of tzatziki sauce on each pita bread.

Step 10

Place some sliced meat onto the pita, followed by slices of tomato, onion, lettuce leaves, and a sprinkling of crumbled feta cheese.

Step 11

Fold the pita bread around the filling to create a wrap.

Step 12

Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade gyro wraps!
