Gyro Burger Pitas




Gyro Burger Pitas

Serves 4.

These were fun, and different than our normal line-up for meals.  Both The Mr. and I both really enjoyed the change.

1 lb. lean ground lamb
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 tsp. dry onion
1 Tbsp. Dijon or coarse grain mustard
3/4 tsp. Kosher salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
1/2 tsp. dry oregano
1 tsp. rosemary, dry or fresh and chopped

Tzatziki sauce
4 pitas or 6″ rounds of flatbread 
Fresh tomato and thin onion slices




Gently combine lamb, garlic, onion, mustard, salt, pepper, vinegar, oregano, and rosemary with your hands and shape into 4 oblong patties. Grill for 5-6 minutes on each side and remove from heat. Allow to stand for 5 minutes. Place on pitas or flatbread and add onions, tomatoes, and Tzatziki. Fold like a taco and serve immediately. For easy serving and clean-up, wrap in aluminum foil.

I sauted my onion slices instead of using fresh.  Use whichever is your preference!
