What is a Gyro
Gyros originate from Greece and are a sandwich made with pita bread and gyro meat, topped with fresh toppings and a delectable gyro sauce. Traditionally gyro meat is made with lamb that is grilled on a vertical spit of stacked meat slices. The meat is then cut off and used in lamb gyros. In the US, ground meat is used most often. You can also purchase store-bought cooked deli lamb meat and reheat before serving. This recipe is sure to become a favorite!
