Instructions

Prepare Gyros

Combine the olive oil, lemon juice, gyros spice mix, garlic and red bell pepper in a bowl.
Add the meat and mix well so every piece is coated with the marinade.
Heat a little oil or butter in a frying pan over medium heat.
Add the meat and cook until browned. Add the red onions and continue cooking 5–7 minutes until the meat is cooked through and the onions are soft.

Build the wraps

Place the tortillas on plates. Add lettuce and cherry tomatoes, then spoon the warm meat over the top.
Finish with crumbled feta and chopped mint.

Notes

1. Can I use chicken instead of schnitzel? Yes. Chicken breast or thighs work well; adjust cooking time as needed.

2. Don’t have gyros spices? Use a simple mix of oregano, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper, or use a ready blend if you prefer.

3. Freezing: Freeze only the cooked meat for best results; assemble wraps fresh to keep the tortillas soft.

4. Extra flavor: Marinate the meat for up to three hours for deeper flavor.

5. Storage

Fridge: Store leftovers in a sealed container for up to 3 days.
Freezer: Cool the meat, then freeze in a container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge and reheat before serving.
