Total time: 30 min
Ingredients: 1 cup chopped cucumber; 5 oz container plain non-fat Greek yogurt; 1 cup sour cream; 1 tbsp od Red Wine; 1 tsp of Lemon Juice; 1 tbsp chopped fresh dill; 1 tsp of Lemon Juice; 1 tsp minced garlic; Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste; 1.5 lbs of meatball mix (or ground meat of your choice, lamb is often used); ¼ Cup breadcrumbs; 2 eggs; 1 tbsp of Granulated Garlic; 1 tsp of Onion Powder; ½ tsp of Salt and Pepper; ½ tsp of Basil; ½ tsp of Oregano; 1 tsp of Lemon Juice; 2 tbsp Olive oil for griddling

First things first, it is pronounced (ero, like Hero), not gEYErO, which is an abbreviation for gyroscope, used in navigation. Anyway, Gyros are delicious Greek sandwich. Instead of using a traditional vertical rotisserie, we use the griddle to produce a crispy sear on the meat for this awesome sandwich. The sandwich is constructed with a grilled pita, gyro meat, griddle onions, chopped tomatoes, lettuce, and topped with herb laden tzatziki with a dusting of feta cheese. Spectacular.
