Instructions

Gather ingredients
Gather all ingredients, a skillet, tongs, a knife, a cutting board, a tray, a spoon, and 2 serving plates. · 3 min
What to look for: All ingredients and tools are within reach.
Crisp fries
Heat oven to 204°C / 400°F and spread fries on a tray until hot, crisp at the edges, and ready to tuck into the pita. · 10 min
What to look for: Fries look dry, golden, and crisp at the tips.
Slice salad
Slice tomato and onion thinly, then season them with salt and black pepper so the fresh filling tastes bright but not watery. · 4 min
What to look for: Tomato and onion are thin, glossy, and lightly seasoned.
Warm pita
Brush pita with olive oil and warm each one in a skillet for 1 minute per side until soft, flexible, and lightly spotted. · 2 min
What to look for: Pita bends easily and has light golden spots.
Sear meat
Add gyro meat to the hot skillet and fry for 3 to 4 minutes, turning often, until the edges brown and the slices steam. · 4 min
When it is done: Gyro meat is steaming hot and reaches 74°C / 165°F if reheated from chilled.
Build wraps
Spread tzatziki over warm pita, then layer gyro meat, tomato, onion, and hot fries down the center without overfilling. · 3 min
What to look for: Fillings sit in a neat line and the pita can still fold.
Serve warm
Serve immediately on plates, folding each pita around the filling so the fries stay crisp and the tzatziki stays cool. · 1 min
What to look for: Wraps are warm, full, and easy to pick up.

Ingredient substitutions

Gyro meat

Pork gyro meat: Use the same weight and slice thinly before heating.

Pita

Greek pita: Choose a soft pita that can fold without cracking.

Tzatziki

Thick tzatziki: A thicker sauce keeps the pita from becoming soggy.

Tomato

Ripe tomato: Use a firm ripe tomato so the slices hold their shape.

Onion

Mild onion: Use the same amount for a gentler raw onion bite.

Fry

Oven fry: Use hot crisp fries so the wrap keeps its classic texture.
