My mom makes Gyros all the time! She would really appreciate this recipe because she likes a different spin on thing she loves to make. Thanks so much! 🙂
This is very similar to the Greek gyro wraps I made a little while ago. We LOVE Greek flavors!
We love anything with a greek flare too!
I love Mediterranean flavors- I like that you can use ground beef too, since I usually have it on hand for a quick meal!
