Ingredients
- 6 rounds of whole wheat pita bread, from the Whole Wheat Pita recipe
- 1/4 C tzatziki sauce
- 1/2 recipe Greek Chicken
- 1/2 red onion
- 2 tomatoes
- 5 leaves romaine heart
- 1/4 lb. feta cheese
- 1/4 C kalamata olives
Directions
Mise en place
- Wash and dry produce.
- Thinly slice the onions and tomatoes. Dice the olives.
- Slice the lettuce into 1/2-inch strips.
- Prepare ½ recipe from Greek Chicken
Prepare
- To assemble the gyros, place a pita into the center of a square of foil. One pita per piece of foil. Spread 1/4 cup of the tzatziki evenly, keeping 1 inch away from the edges on all 6 pitas.
- Place the chicken, onions, tomatoes and lettuce in a line going down the middle of the pita. Top with feta and olives. You’re going to divide all the ingredients equally between the 6 gyros. Wrap up the gyro by folding both sides of the pita up over the filling and wrapping the foil tightly around the gyros.
Serve
- To eat, peel back the foil in stages. If you’re going to save for later, place in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
