Ingredients
Scale
FOR COOKING
- 1 lb leftover lamb, sliced thin
- 1 package (6) White Pitas
FOR SERVING
- Lettuce, chopped
- Tomato, diced
- White Onion, diced
- Tzatziki Sauce
- Lemon, sliced (optional)
Instructions
PREP:
- Heat lamb in the microwave for 20-30 seconds. Set aside.
- Warm pitas in the microwave for 10-20 seconds, or until warm.
MAKE THE GYROS
- Lay each pita flat. Add lamb, lettuce, tomato, onion onto pita. Top with tzatziki sauce and juice of lemon slices (if using).
- Serve.
Notes
- Pre-slice the Lamb: When storing leftover roast lamb, slice it into thin strips before refrigerating. This saves time when assembling the gyros.
- Use Store-bought Sauces: If you’re short on time, opt for pre-made tzatziki or other sauces instead of making them from scratch.
- Prep Your Veggies: Chop cucumbers, tomatoes, and onions ahead of time and store them in airtight containers in the fridge for quick access.
- Warm the Pita: Quickly warm pita bread in a dry skillet or microwave to make it pliable and enhance its flavor.
