🥙 Gyros My Way 🔥 🇵🇷

🥙 Gyros My Way

** update aka I want to mention if you want the flavor more tangy, simple add 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar , taste and adjust to your liking 👍😋😉

I love Gyros and the first time I tried was in Washington state. Over the years I looked into recipes and there are so many different versions, so many adaptations made by people like me, doing their own little twist. So I decided to get hot and get to cooking! So here is my version — with a Hispanic flare lol. Be bold and don’t be afraid of experimenting in the kitchen, add your own twist! Get to cooking!

Ingredients

4 pounds of chuck steak or round steak

3 pounds of chicken breast

¼ cup of water

1 purple onion

1–2 Roma tomatoes

¼ cup of Italian dressing

4 tbsp of apple cider vinegar

1 tbsp of cumin powder

1 tbsp of coriander powder

1 tbsp of dry basil

3 tbsp of sazon all-purpose powder

Feta cheese

Instructions

1. Thin slice your beef and chicken and season it.

2. Now heat up your cast-iron skillet over medium heat until nice and hot.

Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil (or your favorite cooking oil).

Once the oil shimmers, place your meat in the pan.

Sear for about 5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 5 minutes.

Continue cooking as needed until the meat is beautifully browned on the outside and fully cooked inside.

💡 Pro tip: Don’t move the meat too soon — that golden crust gives you all the flavor!

3. Make your sauce Tzatziki sauce.

I make my very own lazy version — I know nothing beats the original, but trust me, my lazy version it's pretty good!

Mix:

1 cup of sour cream

1 tbsp of cool cucumber mix

1 tbsp of dill mix

Stir it up and mix well

4. Heat up your griddle or pan, spread butter on top and put your gyro/pita bread on the griddle.

Heat at low-medium heat for 2 minutes, flip and cook for 2 more minutes.

5. Now time to assemble the delicious gyro!

Spread my lazy version of Tzatziki on the gyro, add shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, red onions, and top it with the beef or chicken.

Sprinkle feta cheese on top.

Serve with French fries or Greek rice.

Enjoy!

Ps: adjust your seasoning ( tge sazon and adobo) if needed
