Here is what I did: Gyros- Taco Style (Not your normal gyro)
1 cup minced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 lbs. ground beef
4 Tbs. lemon juice
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. ground cumin
Pitas-from Costco
1 cup shredded lettuce
1 cup diced tomato
Feta cheese-from Costco
Cucumber Tzatziki sauce-from Costco


Spray skillet with non-stick spray and add onion & garlic. Stirring constantly, cook on low heat until soft. Place in mixing bowl w/ meat, lemon juice, oregano & cumin, mix thoroughly. I put it all back in the pan and cooked the meat “taco style.”

That is it! We warmed the pitas, added meat, feta, tzatziki sauce, lettuce & tomato! We love gyros, so nothing will ever be as good as buying a “normal” one, but this definitely satisfied my gyro craving!
Local friends: If you have never tried Z’s gyros in Bozeman, you are missing out! She is at the Bogart Farmer’s Market on Tuesdays, and sets up a small stand in the parking lot of Rocky Mtn Seafood Thurs & Fri during lunch.
