Gyros-Style Pork Sandwich

Recipes »  Main Dish  »  Sandwiches and Wraps

Favorite flavors of the Mediterranean come alive in this gyros-inspired sandwich.

 "These were excellent. I served them with Vegetable-wheatberry salad with Vinagrette, and Wilted Spinach Salad with Bacon Dressing. If you warm the pitas, they are much better. I forgot to do that with the first one, and it wasn't as good. I also added tomatos. " - scturner97

    not very good. We bought pitas that were whole wheat and ended up not eating that part. But other wise the sauce tasted bad and the meat was the best part, maybe too much lemon flavor. I would use less lemon juice IF I were to make it again. Not even close to being Gyros-Style. I used to work in a restaraunt that sold gyros and this was not even a likeness to it.

    Pretty good! Instead of the sauce in the recipe, I served it with the tzatziki sauce recipe http://www.bigoven.com/recipe21191. Nice.
