Gyros with Greek Chicken, Tzatziki and Homemade Greek Pita Flatbread

Isn’t Greek food amazing? I’ve never been a huge fan until pretty much the last year. I live in the midwest and have temporarily moved to the East coast and there is SO much more Mediterranean food here than where I’m from. We had some delicious gyros last week at a restaurant so it inspired me to create some at home. Yes, these have a lot of steps and they can seem to have a lengthy prep but if you do it all from scratch you’ll be glad you did. Although, if you are looking to make it a little bit healthier you could simply omit the pita altogether and just make it into a salad (which is what I did the second day). Another option would be to serve it over lemon mint rice instead of pita. Don’t get me wrong, the homemade pita is delicious, especially right when it comes off the hot skillet, but lets be honest – we don’t often have a lot of time to make the entire meal from scratch.

These are loaded with fresh and exciting flavors. Bland doesn’t exist in this wrap, which is one of my favorite things about it. This wrap has the works and it will leave you craving them time and time again. Just be sure to add plenty of Tzatziki and Feta, everything is better with lots of cheese and a generous helping of sauce. Enjoy!
