Gyros are a delicious sandwich for lunch or dinner, with spiced, grilled meat topped with lettuce, tomato, onion, and a flavorful tzatziki sauce. You can find tzatziki in the refrigerated condiment section of the grocery store or make your own using Greek yogurt, sour cream, cucumber, and fresh dill. So at our house, the homemade gyros are usually made with either ground beef, or a combination of pork and ground beef. I totally get that it's close to heresy to make a middle-eastern dish eaten originally by Muslims and Jews using Pork.
