Yummy Gyrossave
"Traditional Greek gyros (pronounced YEER-ohs) are made from minced lamb or beef that has been molded into a 20-pound cone and roasted on a spit. The meat is sliced, then wrapped in a pita with onions, tomatoes, and tzatziki, a cucumber sauce. Because roasting 20 pounds of meat isn't practical for most of us, we've come up with a scaled-down version that embraces the spirit of the dish...."
