Instead of ordering takeout, try our lightened take on the traditional gyro sandwich. This recipe for a quick beef gyro combines the ease of takeout with the health benefits of cooking at home! While the classic gyro meat is a combination of beef and lamb, we swapped in deli roast beef. By slightly frying it on the stove top, you'll recreate the similar crisp texture. Instead of using pita bread, we've decided to go with whole-wheat tortillas to get the hearty flavor we all know and love.
Ingredients
½ tsp ground cumin
½ tsp dried oregano
¼ tsp garlic powder
1 pinch table salt
3 oz deli-style roast beef slices
2 sprays cooking spray
1 medium whole-wheat tortilla
⅓ cup cucumber, diced
¼ cup plain fat-free Greek yogurt
½ medium plum tomato, sliced
⅓ cup romaine lettuce, shredded
Instructions
Combine cumin, oregano, garlic powder, and salt in a cup; sprinkle half over roast beef.
Coat a medium nonstick skillet with, cooking spray; heat over medium heat. Add beef; cook, turning once, until lightly browned, 2 minutes. Remove beef; set aside.
Heat tortilla in the same skillet over medium heat, turning once until lightly browned, 1 minute.
Combine the remaining spice mixture with cucumber and yogurt. Layer half tortilla with roast beef, yogurt mixture, tomato, and lettuce; fold in half.
