Time 40m

Yield 6 gyros, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup milk
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 pita bread, cut in half
3/4 lb thinly sliced beef or 3/4 lb chicken breast
1 cup lettuce, shredded
1 cup chopped tomato
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
1/4 cup olive

Steps:

Gyro sauce: Combine the first 5 ingredients in a medium bowl. Chill.
Fill pita pockets with cooked beef or cooked chicken( I often use marinated flank steak), lettuce, tomato. red onion and olives. Spoon Gyro sauce into each filled pita. Serve.
* I sometimes place all ingredients on the pita and roll up in foil. Keeps it nice and neat and much easier to eat.
