Easy Gyros


What to do with some leftover leg of lamb?  Humm.  Gyros!  Very easy to make and oh so yummy.

Leftover lamb, thinly sliced
Chopped lettuce and tomato
Feta cheese, crumbled
Naan bread
Tzatziki sauce:
     -About 1 1/2 cups plain yogurt
     -1/2 cucumber, peeled, seeded, and diced
     -About 2 tbs red onion, minced
     -2 cloves garlic, minced
     -Lemon juice (about 1/2 lemon)
     -1 tsp oregano (or mint)
     -1 tbs olive oil
     -Salt and freshly ground pepper

First make the tzatziki sauce, preferably 1-2 hours before dining.  Chop up the lettuce and tomato.





Thinly slice the lamb (I do it while it's still cold from the fridge), wrap in foil, and warm in a 300 degree oven.





Toast the naan bread on a griddle or grill plate.  Stuff with lamb, sauce, lettuce, tomato, and feta cheese (cheese not pictured, because I forgot to use it--don't let this happen to you).  Enjoy!
