  • Step 6
  • Warm the pita bread rounds on the grill for about 1 minute on each side.
  • Step 7
  • Assemble your gyros by placing a pita bread round on a plate. Add a portion of grilled meat and top it with cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, fresh parsley, and crumbled feta cheese (if desired).
  • Step 8
  • Drizzle tzatziki sauce over the toppings.
  • Step 9
  • Fold the pita bread over the filling, and secure it with parchment paper or foil.
