Ingredients

Scale

For the Gyros

  • 4 pita breads
  • 2 cups shredded lettuce
  • 2 cups sliced cooked chicken breast
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

For the Tzatziki Sauce

  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cucumber, grated and drained
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Additional Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tzatziki Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, grated cucumber (squeezed to remove excess water), minced garlic, lemon juice, and chopped dill. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to use to allow flavors to meld.
  2. Assemble the Gyros: Lay each pita bread flat and start by layering a generous amount of shredded lettuce down the center. Follow by adding the sliced chicken breast evenly on top of the lettuce.
  3. Add Fresh Vegetables and Cheese: Distribute the halved cherry tomatoes and sliced red onions over the chicken. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top for an added creamy and salty flavor.
  4. Drizzle Sauce and Olive Oil: Spoon a few tablespoons of the chilled tzatziki sauce over the fillings and lightly drizzle with olive oil to enhance the richness.
  5. Garnish and Serve: If desired, sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the gyros for a pop of color and fresh herbal aroma. Fold or wrap the pita around the fillings tightly to hold everything together.
  6. Enjoy: Serve immediately while the pita is warm and the ingredients fresh for a delicious and authentic Mediterranean chicken gyro experience.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add sliced jalapeños or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to your gyro fillings.
  • Customize the toppings by adding avocado slices, olives, or roasted red peppers to enhance flavor and texture.
  • Leftover sliced chicken can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and used in salads, wraps, or other meals.
  • Warm the pita breads slightly in a dry skillet or oven before assembling for a softer wrap.
