Tips

• Use a meat thermometer to ensure the ground lamb is cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F.
• For a healthier option, you can use ground chicken or turkey instead of lamb.
• Make your own tzatziki sauce by combining Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, and salt.
• You can add other veggies to your gyro, such as lettuce, cucumber, or bell pepper.
• If you don't have pita bread, you can use a wrap or a tortilla.
