GYRO


Best Gyro I've had in a long time...

1 Lb or ground hamburger 90%
2 teaspoons of cumin
1 teaspoon of Adobo
1/2 bunch of chopped mint leaves about 1/2 cup
1 good size onion chopped
1 Jalapeno (optional)

3 Pitas cut in half wrap in foil, makes 6 gyros

1 cup regular Greek yogurt. Sprinkle with salt to taste and mix in a bowl.

Lettuce shredded
Slices of tomato
Raw onions if you like (optional)

Mix ingredients meat, cumin, adobo, mint leaves.  Make into 4 or 5 patties.  Heat oil and brown patties, turn on both sides and remove quickly, place on paper towel.  If you like them well done, don't worry too much because you are going to cook again.   Slice meat patties into 5 or 6 pieces.

Add chopped onions to pan and fry for a few minutes, then add meat slices.

Heat oven to 450 and place pitas wrapped in foil.

Assemble:
Open pitas, add meat, lettuce, tomato, and yogurt sauce. Wrap with foil again just leaving top opening.

Another option is to leave pitas whole and just add ingredients in center and wrapp again with foil so that filling doesn't fall out.
